You can get a WISC if you like but keep in mind these scores are in relationship to FCPS students only. On nationwide tests your kids are being compared to students in AL, TX, and other states where standards are incredibly low and kids are a year or two behind what's happening here and places like Connecticut and Mass, etc. Just something to consider.

Last year kids had Cogat subscores in the 130's and that was considered 99th percentile. But scores in the 140's and 150's were 99th percentile too. Now with the new way of reading the test the 130's kids are in the high 80's and low 90's, percentile wise, and the really high ability kids get to stand alone in the 98-99th percentile rank. It separates the group fairly but for some it will be a harsh reality.[/quote]

I heard from a friend whose kid was 2nd grader last year -- he received a composite score CogAt of 132 which was 96th percentile. Not 99th percentile as you suggested. Thanks for your input. [/quote]

Oops. I messed up the original poster's quoted comments. My comment was only about my friend's kid who received 132 Composite - which was 96th percentile (last school year - 2011-12). [/quote]
