[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you prep him and he does much better on the Cogat, then you'll never know what he would have really gotten. You'll always think of him as not as smart as his brother. You'll always rank them in your mind as the smart one and the smart-with-prepping one. [/quote] That's ridiculous. The CogAT provides an extremely rough approximation of intelligence, especially at the higher ends where one lucky guess leads to a huge difference in scores. Even if OP gets the "true" score for her younger child, she can't rank them against each other based on such a poor metric as the CogAT. I assume that most preppers recognize that the CogAT is a poor test, want their kids in AAP, and don't want to pay for a WISC. [/quote]
