Gosh, you might want to check out scat even if he doesn't do great on the Cogat, etc...it is fairly affordable compared with other tests. I think he'd just have to have 95% or higher on a state test like the ones most schools do every year.

Yeah, all these tests are just tests, at most a few hours out of one day. And only definitely show that some kids are good at taking those sorts of tests, and some less so. It really doesn't sound like either of your kids have 'totally average' brains. smile
