[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The CoGAT is not meant to be of a high difficulty level since it is not a test of subject matter. It is a measure of learning abilities and it is meant to give guidance to teachers on the best learning environments for students. Kicking up the difficulty level on this test that second graders take would not be useful. The goal is to place students in the classroom situation that best fits their needs.[/quote] I agree and also disagree. Yes cogat is created to guide teachers in placing the kids. But in Fairfax county, we use the test to differentiate the kids. To fulfill the purpose of differentiation, the right difficulty level is needed. Currently the test is too easy. If Fairfax does not want to write up new questions, the easy way is to replace half of the cogat questions with cogat questions for third graders. That will increase the difficulty level so prep will not work.[/quote]
