I completely understand. Actually, after ds took Wisc last spring; I asked principal what would happen if Cogat score was low. She made it seem like it wouldn't be a big deal- not so sure now. (Now, we are just hoping he'll get in the program even if its for the rest of the year.)
What I do think is YOU are a better judge of your child. You know.
My ds can seem like any other silly 1st grade boy sometimes. Other times, he amazes me with the ideas/ theories he is contemplating. Not to mention, he is so intense and sensitive- more than your avg 1st grader.
Since receiving our Cogat scores, I am so thankful we have those Wisc scores, because otherwise I would be doubting everything! I would probably have a really hard time, honestly.
As others have said, the Cogat is one not so great test on one day. If it does not give you the answers you are looking for; get private testing.
Good luck! Keep us posted!
