Hi everyone,
My oldest daughter (7 1/2 in 2nd grade--accelerated one year) took the CogAt recently to qualify for the gifted program, which starts in 3rd grade. The district usually tests 2nd graders on the NNAT, but I requested the CogAt because she seems to be quite gifted verbally.
I thought she would be given the 2nd grade version of the test(which I believe is read aloud to students), but it turns out she was tested with all the older kids (3rd grade and up). So she read the test on her own instead of the test being read to her.
Is there much difference in how those two versions of the CogAt are scored? Would she have had any advantage in taking the 2nd grade version of the test (the one which is read to students)?
She did mention afterward that she ran out of time to finish many of the questions, especially in the quantatative section.
She scored 97 NPR on Verbal, 88 NPR on Quantative, and 67 NPR on Non-Verbal.
Thanks for your insight!
