I think the CogAT is a ridiculous test. Any kid with speed issues (for whatever reason) is going to have problems with it. Both of my kids do far worse on the CogAT than on the WISC IV.

I don't understand why school districts love it so much. They somehow think they're being "fair" by using it, but what they don't seem to understand is that it is not a protected test. Anyone can obtain it and administer it to their child. It would be *very* easy to get a copy and have a kid memorize the answers.
