[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree that young children are not always accurate in their assessment of how they did, but just suggesting you should also question whether your child told you that the CogAT was "hard" because your child has sensed the importance you place on the test (and getting into AAP) and does not want to disappoint.

You know your child best, but I also know that over time, I unintentionally communicated my stress to my child, whether it was academics, sports, etc. Over and over throughout these threads. you can see parents who have clearly communicated their stress over getting into AAP to their young kids. So please just be mindful and check yourself when you ask about the CogAT or get the results and appeal. etc. [/quote]

Thanks!  That’s a good reminder, but I don’t think applicable in this instance. I said nothing about it though I did write it on the calendar. My DS then told her “that’s the test to get into AAP!”  Ugh, thanks DS. I responded, “not really, it’s just a part of it, they look at a lot of things, don’t worry about it” and that was the end of it. This is a kid who is used to getting perfect scores on everything so it may be that she would say it was hard if she didn’t know every single answer with 100% certainty. Just a contrast to my son reporting it was so easy and he thought he had a nearly perfect score when he actually did not, though he did do very well.

Not really thinking about it anymore. [/quote]
