[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah that makes sense...he is 2nd grade.  He was 8 and 4 months (so pretty much middle of the pack). I see what you mean regarding age and difference.  I think you could be right.  Thank you[/quote]

If your child was 8 years and 4 mos. when he took the test, your kid was in fact a full year older than my kid who took the cogat in the fall of 2nd grad.  I'm going to guess that your child was held back/red-shirted.  My kid turned 7 on July 31st before going to 2nd grade.  So, when he took the CogAt in Oct, he was only 7 yrs and 2.5 mos. old. If your child was a full year (and then some) older, your kid would be expected to get more right.

8 yrs. and 4 mos. is not "middle of the pack" for Oct. of 2nd grade... most kids are turning 8 IN second grade.  In my kid's case (and other summer bdays), they turn 8 AFTER 2nd grade is over.[/quote]

My apologies... I just saw that your child took the test in March... so, your child was a bit older, but not a lot, and still in the normal range.  But, they have to create the range and the extra points for kids like mine who are still not yet 8 when taking the test in Mar. and still do well on it.  [/quote]

Yes my son was definitely not held back.  He is working 3-4 grades ahead in all areas.   We couldn't start him earlier because he has social delays. [/quote]
