Please help - very new to this. My second grade son recently took the cogat online version. This is the first year the district has used this test (before it was Raven) and it was wrought with issues (his class was rescheduled 5 times due to technical issues and even when he did take it, he told me that had to stop three times due to internet problems and they even had them run laps in the middle while they figured things out).
Anyway they ended up only giving 3 of the 9 subtests (one from each battery). Would that really give a valid result? It seems to me that only 50 some questions wouldn't be enough to have a statistical sample size.
They also will not release test scores. They simply sent home a letter (the last day of school) that said he did not score above 90th percentile and thus does not qualify for GATE. We asked for a breakdown of scores but they refused.
Does this seem odd? We really expected him to qualify based on classroom performance and teacher feedback.
