[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child has taken both, would you mind sharing the scores?  i'm wondering how the two compare. Is one or the other always lower.  If you have the breakdown even better.  Maybe one Cogat subtest correlates better?[/quote]

[b]Since both tests are based on percentiles, it wouldn't make sense for one test to produce higher scores than the other.[/b] Some kids will do better on the cogat or NNAT, some will do better on the WISC, some will have close scores on all tests. The only difference I can think of worth mentioning is that the cogat has a standard deviation of 16, while the Wisc has a standard deviation of 15. Therefore, a score of 130 on the WISC is equivalent in rarity to a 132 on the cogat.

The WISC is said to be a more accurate test, since it is done one on one, while the cogat and NNAT tests are administered in a group setting.

It absolutely makes sense depending on the child.  Let's say she has ADHD, obsessive compulsive, high anxiety, etc.[/quote]
