[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, Your child should basically have all As and 99th percentile on Cogat composite. I don't know how deeply they look at the subscores.

99% for grade, not age.  This is how the "redshirting" hurts the younger kids.[/quote]

No it's the opposite. Cogat is age-normed, so being younger is a plus. It's the older redshirted kids who are penalized.[/quote]

No - CogAT being age normed is fair to both younger and older kids by comparing them to others born in the same year and month.[/quote]

Yes, it is more fair, but younger kids in the same grade benefit from age-norming since their percentiles are effectively boosted. In other words, if a younger child and older child in the same grade get the same score, the younger child "wins." They are initially compared to their same-age peers but ultimately compared within the grade for CES admission and high performance by younger scorers is considered.[/quote]

They are both age and grade normed.  Our form had both.  Really the younger kid wins but they are looking at grade not age.  My child is 12-18 months younger due to redshirting so technically smarter but that's not what they are looking for.  The older kids in our school got in, not younger.[/quote]

Their percentiles aren't boosted. All it is comparing apples and apples. A kid born in March of 2010 is compared with others born in March of 2010 to determine their percentile. [/quote]

You get two scores, not one.  You get one score by age and one by grade.  So, one score is kids born March of 2010 and one score is for all kids in 5th grade.[/quote]

Well, when my kid took it for CES, I got two scores one was 98% MCPS the other was 99% national. Neither mentioned their grade or age.  [/quote]
