[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CogAT is not timed for 1st and 2nd grade because the teacher is reading each question (i.e Fill in the bubble next to the triangle, etc) and the students all track with her and answer the questions at the same time. 
Starting in 3rd grade the teacher doesn't read anything and each section is timed.

-Teacher who has administered the CogAT hundreds of times[/quote]

If you're a teacher, then don't you know there is no CogAT for first grade?  [/quote]

Wow, aren't you rude. Do you know that not everyone lives in Northern Virginia? Yes, there most certainly is a CogAT for 1st grade (And it's available for all grades K-12). Just because FCPS doesn't administer it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist!

Sure, but what non fcps teacher would be on the aap forum? The post wasn't rude at all...[/quote]
Wow. [b]If you're children are like you, there's no AAP in their future.[/[/b]quote]

Lol! [b]Well said. [/b] These posters are all bent out of shape that some kid's test wasn't timed, and then throw around unverified BS that 99% of other kids' tests were timed in FCPS. So typical from these FCPS [b]know it all parents[/b].

[b]You are right when you talk about the apple not falling far from their DNA tree [/b]. . . they can't imagine a 7 year old with the ability to note time and test instructions and then keep that in short term memory until the bus arrives home.  What a bunch of hypocrites . . . they are probably the sort of Tiger Moms that prep their kids for the CogAT . . . Thank you for answering the original question of whether the NNAT can be administered in 1st Grade without enforcing the strict time limits. [b]Just ignore these people who obviously know nothing [/b]but post anyway.  They admitted anyway that their kid didn't even take the NNAT this go-round . . .[/quote]

It is always mature and kind to insult people, isn't it?  Shameful comments which I assume you would not allow your child to make. [/quote]

What's worse are thin-skinned people like you and the Tiger Mom (with both kids in AAP . . . wow!) trying to moderate these forums and add unrelated assertions about fairness.  None of you know anything about what happened in 1G this year re: the strictness of any time limits, so please STFU.  Plenty of your friends think the same thing at your PTA meetings, however they just won't say it . . . [/quote]

Ugly comments.  Unhelpful, unnecessary and meanspirited.  [/quote]
