My school uses the OLsat as a screen. Of course DS didn't score high enough. Not sure how the Cogat works but with the Olsat the question is only read once and not repeated at all. No way my DS could score super well under conditions like that especially with his processing speed issues. If the child does not get a qualifying score on the OLSAT then the school does not test the child with the WISC IV for ATP. But one can get their child tested privately and use qualifying WISC scores to get into the ATP. The Olsat doesn't get a child in, it only gets the school to test the child with the WISC to see if the child qualifies. Perhaps, it works the same in your school with the Cogat being a screen? I would look into it if I were you!
