[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CogAT is race-neutral, language-neutral intelligence test that can qualify a child for Mensa.  MAP is just an indicator of what grade level you're at, so can be gamed with after-school tutoring or folks with high incomes.  It makes sense why MCPS switched.[/quote]

You had me until your last sentence. [/quote]
DP. Thought that was a typo, and that they meant that “it doesn’t make sense why MCPS switched.” Otherwise it is a weird post.[/quote]

I took PP to mean "switched" back to CogAT, potentially not knowing that it used to be the norm. [/quote]
Lol. It’s funny there are so many interpretations. But MCPS did not switch back to CogAT. Right now it’s just another measure MCPS reinstated for GT identification, which is not what this thread is about.[/quote]

I don't see why they clearly stated, in the document we signed to opt in:

"Dear Third Grade Families,
 As part of the Universal Screening of second and third graders for Gifted and Talented(GT) Identification and
 to help inform your child’s teacher about how your student learns, your child will take the Cognitive Abilities
 Test(CogAT)."
