[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So are the angry parents those whose summer bday kids missed the pool on both the nnat AND the cogat, or do they also include parents of children who qualified for the nnat, but whose scores were lower for the cogat?[/quote] The angry parents, as far as I can tell, are those who do not believe that you can produce (and use) test scores without following the right specifications. Which in the case of tests like CogAT require age normalization. And because this unacceptable deviation affects mostly the younger kids, I expect that it's the parents of the younger kids, irrespectively of whether they made the pool or not, who would be most upset... I also suspect that it's those parents who, based on what they know about their kids and their strong performance at NNAT, expected a better performance at CogAT, only to discover that their kids might actually have had that strong performance, if the scores were age-adjusted.[/quote]
