Hi there, My 8 year old daughter recently took the CogAT test for the first time and her results seem a little odd. She scored a 97 in Verbal, a 52 in Quantitative (no surprise, she doesn't like math), a *38* in Nonverbal, for a composite score of 73 and interactive score profile of 5E(V+). The non-verbal section seems to be most tied to reasoning and innate intelligence and so we're a little concerned. She is currently in her public school's G & T program, is a straight A student and was assessed at a 6-7th grade reading level. I personally think she's just a bright kid but not necessarily G &T. (But I didn't argue the point, since she loves her G & T class :-)) Any thoughts around why she would score so low in this one section and next steps, if any? P.S. As a child I scored exeptionally high on the Iowa Basics - 97-99 on everything, except math, where I scored somewhere around a 30/;7th grade Stanford Binet scored me as 2nd year college for everything but math, where I scored 3rd grade. Thank you!
