extrapolate this to 2026-2027 school year, your child "in grades 2-7 students enrolling after the main October CogAT window will occur using the CogAT in spring" 2026.

Make sure you start preparing your child for the test. Don’t let anti-preparation parents discourage you. Many parents prepare their children for these tests, even those who publicly discourage it. Don't be fooled by their words.

Then if your student is coming in as a 3rd-8th grader the timing of the CogAt shouldn't be an issue. If they're coming in younger then that they'll take the test in Oct of their 2nd grade year, along with everyone else. .

Does the COGAT have to be taken at a specific time to apply? E.g., would a score from early 2025 work, or would it have to be a score from the 2025-2026 school year?
Thanks, we have never been in the DMV school system before, and it is daunting.
Are you planning on moving to Fairfax County? The DMV includes multiple school districts and they all have different programs and requirements. AAP is a Fairfax County Public School program and you'd want to check out their information. The answer will also depend on the grade your student will enter as AAP is only for 3rd-8th grade.
