[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi , 
My dd got 122v, 125q and 130 nv in cogat when she was in third grade. She got similar scores when she took cogat in 2nd grade too. I prepared her for the test in third grade as I felt she was much more capable than the scores she got in 2nd. Preparation did not really help much as the scores did not improve. She is 10 years old now and is in 5th grade. She is born right before cut off and is the youngest in the class. She is very bright and met/exceeded DYS cut off score in explore test in 4th and 5th grades. She took middle school math placement test this year, and the receiving team were concerned about her placement as she got max score on all the three tests that were given. Since she was performing well above grade level in all areas and not just in math, the school decided to give her WISC to see if she can be accelerated by an entire grade. I had no idea about wisc and the school psychologist tested her the same day they took my permission for testing. So there was absolutely no preparation on this one. They also gave her kaufman achievement test the next day. She scored a full scale 148 (136 verbal, 141 perceptual. The school report did not include working memory and procesing speed scores) on wisc and 99.9 on reading and writing composite and &gt; 99.9 in math composite in kaufman. She is now qualified for DYS, and the school recommended grade acceleration. Her HAL ( high ability learner) teacher and class teacher also think she is extremely bright. She also participated in some state level competitions and did extremely well. I'm not sure how she got lower score in cogat which I had prepped her, but got much higher scores in wisc, explore and kaufman which she took totally unprepared. Do I have to worry about lower cogat scores from 2nd and 3rd grade ? Does anyone hsve similar experience? Fyi.. I'm from a midwest state. Since this forum seems to have lot of information about cogat and wisc I am posting here. Thank you[/quote]I

You are double posting midwestern person (stick to one thread)!  that's a no no- don't know what you're all worked up about since your daughter's IQ test will trump a group test like cogat.  Sounds like all her other tests are superior- no one here knows what DYS means or anything but overall- it looks good.  Nothing you can do but relax.[/quote]

Sorry for posting in multiple threads. This is my first time posting here or any other forum regarding test scores. I was just hoping that more people might respond if I post in a. Couple of threads that are active. I want to make sure that grade acceleration is the correct thing we are doing for my dd. She is already the youngest in her class. She currently goes to a public montessori school, but will be going to traditional midfle school starting next yr. The middle school staff recommended that she should skip a grade since she will notbe challenged at all in traditional 6th grade.
 I knew that dd was a very bright/gifted kid, but ever since she got cogat scores that are not very high, I forced myself to think that may be she is not exceptional afterall. I just wanted to make sure that cogat scores can be completely ignored once wisc scores are in. 
DYS= Davidson Young Scholars program or highly gifted children.
Thank you. [/quote]
