Hello,
Papers just came home with my son indicating that this CogAT scores are 93 verbal, 97 non verbal, 97 quantitative for the age percentiles (they are higher for the grade percentiles).
He is a in a Catholic school that has overall high academic standards but not a special gifted program.
I want to make sure he gets the instruction he needs -- it does seem the math he has been doing is a bit easy for him (though he rushes through it and makes careless mistakes -- still he has a 97/A on his report card in Math).
Any tips on how to proceed from here? Talk to the teacher? Do tests on our own? Whether these scores are truly that "high" or whether they are a result of him coming from a stable family, upper-middle class environment, being of good health, and being in a good school. His parents are PhD scientists and we think we are smart, but that *that* smart . . but we do value learning more than many, which probably also puts him at an advantage.
Really, just wondering how meaningful these scores are and what next steps there may be.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
