Yes. DD was given the CogAT at school, so I never received all of the scores. She had a 99% composite, with a composite V+Q (the number our schools use) that was much lower than both her FSIQ and GAI on the WISC IV. What was interesting is that the "V" or verbal score on CogAT appears to have been extremely high, much like her VCI on the WISC. The WISC IV also appears to have had a higher ceiling than did the version of CogAT that she took. HTH!
