[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed if the student is getting 135+ on the CoGAT, they should be getting 99% on the iready.  Anything below a 95% is suspicious, and anything below 90% signals prepping. If the HOPE scores are more in line with 90%tile than 99%tile, then I can see why the selection committee would reject.[/quote]

Completely disagree here.  COGAT and Iready are measuring different things.  [quote]COGAT is measuring general intelligence like an IQ test[/quote] and so the questions have nothing to do with what kids are learning in school.  Iready, in contrast, is a way to check on comprehension and understanding of grade-level material.

Also, with any standardized test for young kids, it matters a lot how the kid happens to feel on the day the test is given.  Thus, if someone has one bad score, I don't think you can assume one thing or another. [/quote]
If the COGAT is measuring general intelligence like an IQ test, how come it is fairly easy to prep for?[/quote]
