I just received word that my ds's school will be giving the Co-Gat test to 7th graders. Have any of you heard of this being done? I'm a bit disappointed because it's such a blunt instrument and it's a bit pointless in my ds's case since he's taken the WISC IV.
KADmom, check out whether your district has published written guidelines. Your state dept. of ed may have some too.
Here the school does use Cogat as a screener. But you can hand them private test results, and if the test is on their list, they accept it. This policy is not well publicized, so it may be worth your while to do some digging.
