[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's highly ridiculous that we are all participating in this conjecture, but I continue to, so whatever.

I found a study stating that students most likely to succeed in academic gifted programs will have consistently high scores in Q and V, and the N scores have less of an impact. Seems to be a pretty standard best practice for selection. So if your child has a high composite but with markedly higher Q and V scores, that seems to be the biggest CogAT indicator for selection according to experts.

No I will not post the study. If I found it you can too.  [/quote]
It sounds like you're trying to make yourself feel better that your child did not do well on the NV section. How is this helpful?[/quote]

I think it's actually meaningful about how choices are made, and since everyone is speculating about this, it seems relevant.

My child did fine on the NV, as far as I am concerned. If 84 national and 86 age-normed is "not well" I shudder at the thought of what it's like to be your poor child. Your comment is really quite mean-spirited, PP. [/quote]
