Cogat is not the only factor. Maybe they had weaker map-r or district assessment.[/quote]

CogAT is not a factor at all for CES. It's only based on grades + MAP.

CogAT is used for GT identificaiton only -- and that doesn't relate to admissions to CES.[/quote]

At least this year. CoGAT was used in the past and I imagine will be reinstated for the CES in the future. [/quote]

The office that runs CES and the office that runs GT designation are different. You are presuming a level of coordination that doesn't exist.[/quote]

Both have access to the same test scores. I don't see why they wouldn't use CoGAT in the future for placement[/quote]

I think this will likely depend on whether the use of CogAT would reduce or increase racial and socioeconomic disparities in who qualities for the lottery, honestly.  Does anyone know if there are statistics on this from when CogAT used to be used?  (I know racial and economic disparities were obscenely high when parents had to opt in to testing, but I mean the period when there was universal screening but before they stopped using CoGAT.)[/quote]

Just like for MAP they'll make the cutoffs lower for high FARMS schools.... [/quote]
