blackcat - it sounds like one or both of your DC should be getting accomodations like Kai's DC. ADD/ADHD Dx or similar exceptionalities would sound like they absolutely justify more time on this test. Then again, I'm not sure how well CogAT EVER works for a 2e kiddo (anyone know?).
What's most troubling in your scenario is that it sounds like your district uses it for SELECTION - not simple screening. The CogAT is simply not an individual IQ test. I think your best argument for how CogAT is not appropriate lies in the test maker's data itself. I cannot recall where I saw it, but I seem to recall that CogAT is best used as a screening device.
