For some reason I can't see what the original question was on this thread. I am curious what sorts of things are on the Cogat. Our school also does something called a Naglieri test. Are these both more tests of achievement? Ds is ok on the achievement side, but also a big divergent thinker.
(un?)related note -
This year is the first where he's sort of getting 'put what the teacher wants to see' instead of the strictly correct answer (wrong to the teacher ) - not what I would call ideal, but at least he is able to recognize that he is making that decision in his head. Do these tests tend toward having kids make these sorts of decisions?
I noticed on the scat prep tests on the jhu-cty site that several analogy questions seemed to fall in the lesser-of-two-wrongs category.
