[quote=Anonymous]Np. The COGAT was never intended for distinguishing above 99%. It’s a group administered ability test for the purposes of screening. It does not identify “exceptional” children apart from 99% kids. You all are putting way too much stock in this test. I lived in a school district which did a very similar thing with their gifted magnet schools. 95% was the threshold. Kids who scored above that were eligible for a lottery and the school district played with demographics as they saw fit. The only difference was all kids were screened and those who did well were given a real IQ test by one school psych, and that was the only score that mattered. (No appeals or outside testing) [/quote]
