[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were mystified by a discrepancy in DS's CogAT scores and had a WISC-IV done just to see if there were any clues there. [b]The psychologist who did the WISC said his low verbal score on the CogAT (45th percentile) didn't make sense compared to his VCI on the WISC (95th percentile).[/b] I know it's a different publisher, but NYC just had a furor over scoring errors on one of their standardized tests - http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/20/education/score-corrections-qualify-nearly-2700-more-pupils-for-gifted-programs.html?_r=0 Considering that this is the first year FCPS has used the customized version of the CogAT, does anyone think these large points discrepancies could be due to scoring errors? Have there been such wide variations in prior years using the old test? Just curious.[/quote] I doubt it. My dc got virtually identical cogat & wisc scores as yours, cogat verbal in the mid40% but then vci on wisc in 97th percentile. And this was 3 years ago so I don't think the new version of cogat is to blame.[/quote]
