[quote=Anonymous][quote]Here's what FCPS says about this:

Here's a link to a FCPS document that includes an explanation of why the test was changed last year:

http://www.fcps.edu/is/aap/pdfs/FAQre2012CustomizedCogAT.pdf

See fourth paragraph, first sentence:

"FCPS staff members chose to administer the custom form of the CogAT this year after it came to our attention that some students, in previous years, had prepared for the CogAT using the exact form of the CogAT being administered in FCPS."

Other schools are simply dropping the use of these scores because they have become useless due to extensive prepping. I would not be surprised if FCPS follows suit. [/quote]

Why do you always quote from the Delphi Oracle.  You must worship the brilliance of FCPS leadership and their incoherent  mumbo jumbo?  I told you all these tests are useless.  We have being saying this for pages.  We live in the digital age of knowledge.  Only a fool thinks they can measure "raw something" from a clean slate!  You don't even have to invoke people running around like goblets stealing tests and chanting about the answers.

At the NFL combine they simply measure.  No one cares whether you prep or work hard.  The results will dictate your fate.  No entitlement syndromes.  Peyton understands this.  He is no fool in spite of his pedigree.  He preps and works hard for his passion and interest.   Longstanding high performing students  do the same.  Your silly infatuation with tests is immaterial.[/quote]
