[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't matter what they use for placement anymore since it is lottery based.[/quote] Not true. If you're talking about CES or the magnets, it's not universal access. There are still thresholds that kids need to meet. The question is, why bother to apply COGAT to every kid if you're not using it other than for a meaningless G&T designation.[/quote] Seems like the threshold to qualify is not high. It's an actual lottery. Low chance of selection.[/quote] That’s your opinion. My kid with a 98 pct COGAT missed the MAP R threshold by a point. She’s a summer birthday and one of the youngest in her class. COGAT is age normed. The MAP R threshold is not. [/quote] Yeah the current exclusively MAP-R focused CES selection is an argument for redshirting. Older kids have time to develop their reading skills. [/quote]
