[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do what you think is best but I would caution doing anything because of how it might impact CES admission. It’s pretty much a crap shoot as to whether students win that lottery or not these days since MCPS went away from a merit based admissions system. Your chances are obviously better than nothing if you listen to those here talking about staying in 3rd in order to be assessed for CES, but the extent to which your DD is beyond her grade level norms won’t impact her chances on winning the CES lottery.

2022-2023 is the final lottery year

The lottery exists because the maker of the CogAT wouldn't let them administer it remotely during the height of the pandemic. The county decided to use this as an opportunity to evaluate other selection methods. They seem to be getting better at it even with the lottery but it will likely be different by the time your child is CES age.[/quote]

They could certainly administer the CogAT this year if they wanted, but they didn't because they like the more equitable outcomes from the lottery system. I really doubt this is the last year of it.[/quote]
