[quote=Anonymous]There are two huge problems with your premise, OP. The first is that the NNAT and CogAT are normed on a group of kids who are taking the test blind, without any prep or preview of the types of questions being asked. FCPS has a significant kids who prep, and thus will get inflated scores relative to their actual ability. The second issue is that CogAT and NNAT are multiple choice tests with a very low ceiling. They are not designed to differentiate between a kid with a 140, a 145, a 150, etc, and it isn't even possible to norm the tests correctly at the high end. All of these tests have disproportionately many kids scoring at the top ends. [/quote]
