[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m actually not surprised that the mean V score for admitted students is quite low. My DC scored a 119 on Verbal and scored in the 130’s in her Q and NV. She is a very strong writer, has an excellent vocabulary and her DRA is 38. She did mention during the Cogat testing days that she had to do a test with weird pictures and was confused about what they were. She also mentioned the teacher would state the questions and she prefers reading the questions on her own. Later on I found out that the section was the verbal one. Of all the sections, I think Cogat verbal is the least correlative of intelligence and maybe the selection committee realizes this? [/quote]

This describes my older kid’s experience pretty well, too. His CogAT sub scores were something like 127/144/137. Excellent reader and writer, 40 DRA in 2nd grade. I was supposed V was lowest. Had a friend whose kid did not get in in 2nd. CogAT was something like 102/130/130 I think. Took the totally different test for 3rd graders the next year on AART’s recommendation and V score went up to around 130 while others stayed close to original score. Composite was over 132 but I’m not sure of any sub scores were. Got in first round in 3rd, applying for 4th grade. [/quote]
