No one uses the WISC IV anymore

Ouch. Close. The NNAT is high, but it is also the least reliable, most easy to prep for test. 130 Cogat is borderline low, and subtext scores matter. PP is right. If the math is math is much higher than the verbal, then you have a Level III/ advanced math kid— not a Level IV kid. The GBRS is low for those scores. If it were 12 or higher, I would say good chance. A 9 with the lower WISC score. does make the kid look prepped.

Speaking of which, I would not submit the WISC score. It hurts a lot more than it helps.

I agree with you, but I hate the assumption that Advanced Math is available at all schools, that it's the same as AAP center math, and that the same math opportunities are available in gen ed vs. the center. Often, that is not the case, and the math gifted kids still need to be in the AAP center to fully have their needs met.

What what part of scores make a kid look to be a math kid who doesn't need AAP? Fluid reasoning? Spatial ability? What are people looking at to make this claim?

This is true. I am not OP but our base school, which does not have a LLIV only option to go to center, does not appear to offer any advanced math until 5th grade. My kid is really bored of addiction, subtraction, time, fractions, and money which is all they’ve done from K-2nd. When that is the case, which it’s not clear if it is for OP, and you have an advanced math kid, also not clear if OP does, it seems the committee should have to take that into account for LIV decisions.

DO NOT submit the WISC. It will be viewed as the most accurate, along with the GBRS. I'm also willing to bet that is might make your kid look like she was prepped for the NNAT and CogAT. If your DC was already found ineligible, still appeal with new work samples, new Iready scores (if high), and talk about why AAP would be a good fit for your child. You have nothing to lose. But, again, don't submit the WISC, it will undermine your child's chances of being admitted.

Sounds like our base school. This is why I ended up putting her in private school in first grade. She was literally, bored to tears. Her current school does a decent job of keeping her challenged, but I still have to supplement her math. At some point, I hope that I can stop that.

I don't think anyone knows. This are almost identical to our scores (except VCI=133 and processing speed was 101) and we were found ineligible and are appealing.
