[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems that there were a lot of surprises of lower CogAT scores vs. high NNAT scores last year. How about the opposite? Has anyone been surprised by a high CogAT score vs. a lower NNAT score last year? I am trying to figure out what happened with the CogAT scores this year... [/quote]

Great question. I'm the originator of this forum.

My kid's scores:
NNAT - 129
CogAT (custom) - 84 VQN with only a 63 on verbal. This kid has been reading since before K and has a super high vocabulary. I am totally surprised. I know a neighbor kid who could barely read last year (when he was a 2nd grader) and he scored an "87" Verbal (low)....and yet my kid gets only a 63? It just can't be right.

Reading ability doesn't impact CogAt.  Reading ability and intelligence are not neccessarily correlated.  My son has always scored well below age for reading and will probably never read fluently,yet he scored a 133 on the CogAt when he was in 2nd grade (when it was based on the national test).[/quote]
