[quote=Anonymous]I am wondering how is the FAT constructed. I assume that they just worked up on COGAT to delete questions that all kids answered correctly and added several difficult questions so kids can be differentiated. I am not sure how will they do the age-adjusted score though - will the county have a large enough pool of kids born in each month to compute the age-adjusted score? I hope the FAT is a better test than the COGAT. A good IQ test should not be too affected by preparation. To truly differentiate kids, they should make the concepts much more abstract; that way, no preparation is useful unless it is real IQ improvement. [/quote]
