Hi, Blackcat,
Oh boy. I don't think my ds did well on the Cogat. Not 99%+ anyway, and he's a recent DYS. The Cogat can miss a lot of giftedness and is a blunt instrument, but is often used because the WISC tests are very expensive. In some ways, you're describing my ds, though so far it seems to be perfectionism that holds him back from performing quickly.
I can't imagine why the pysch wants to only give a portion of the test. Perhaps it's a cost issue?
Our school administered it, so I don't know the cost, but it can be quite expensive or so I've read here.
Could she be talking about a different test such as the SB5?
