Keep pushing, Happy Reader. Regardless of whether your daughter is in the 99th percentile or the 90th, she still deserves a fair and appropriate education. Ds took the Cogat in 3rd grade. I don't remember his score but it was not considered TAG.
The teacher was surprised because his work clearly showed he was gifted. But ds could never seem the hit the mark on tests including an IQ test given by the district psych.
Long story short, we had him tested privately using the Stanford Binet and the WIAT. Turns out ds- who is 2e due to a speech issue - has "abnormal" brain processing. It's not bad or good, but it is different.
And according to the private psych there is a fairly new area of study called neuro something or other (can't remember exactly) that researches kids like ds. The upshot is that he falls into the 5% that cannot accurately be quantified by an IQ test. He is profoundly gifted in one area and highly gifted in the others.
So my point, is don't give up. You know your child better than anyone.
