[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought you could take it on your own at George Mason. Is it prohibitively expensive or something?[/quote] I don't think it is that expensive, but still it wouldn't be equitable if it costs money to take. Personally, we are able to take our kids for our own CogAT and WISC if needed, but county will have to come up with ways to make it equitable for everyone. [/quote] It depends on your situation. There are families that paying for the CogAT would be prohibitively expensive, not only finding the money for the test but the time to take the child to the test in terms of time off of work. Just because many people can afford doesn't mean that everyone can. One of the recommendations from the equity report was that private testing not be allowed, like the WISC, because it is not something available to all and reinforces the socioeconomic gap that exists in AAP. And yes, that Socioeconomic gap is highly correlated with race. [/quote]
