[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even a composite score of 140 can be a fluke, and I think FCPS knows this more than most! I wouldn’t be surprised if they are using a lot of data from previous years to inform their decisions. My guess is that COGAT has been useless in actually identifying kids who are doing well in AAP. Again, a 140 on COGAT can be a fluke and it doesn’t even mean anything other than doing well on that test. It’s not an IQ test. And prepping voids results. It is easily prepped. If you don’t believe me, google it! It’s not a gifted program though. It’s a program for advanced academics. It moved a little faster than general ed. So FCPS (and parents) want kids who can actually tolerate the pace. [/quote] OK, so they are using a test that FCPS thinks is meaningless? Then what do you think they are actually basing their decisions on? Magic 8 ball?[/quote]
