Hi,
I'm new to the forum.
I have a 7-year old son who was tested for the gifted program. He scored a 99% on both Math and Verbal for ITBS but 70% composite for CogAt. We noticed that they had his age incorrect (listed 9 versus actual 7) on the results sheet but are claiming 'they scored it correctly'. I've done some research and have found that a) CogAT scoring is age-based, and b) there is almost always a high correlation between ITBS and CogAT percentiles (not 70% vs 99%).
I am thinking I should push the issue as the 'low' CogAT is preventing him from participating in the challenge program.
Any thoughts or insights on this would be very appreciated.
