It doesn't matter, as the group-administered county scores essentially drop out when a WISC is submitted on appeal. The GBRS is still relevant on appeal. I am confident that your child will get in (as well as everyone else on the list having a full-scale WISC above 135 and GBRS is above 8). A much higher WISC (145+, which is actually a big deal, because that is the cut-off for "profoundly gifted" in the scientific literature) will get in regardless of the GBRS.

$380 for the WISC-IV at GMU

It can be free or lower priced if you meet certain income standards at GMU. Low income should not keep parents from seeking WISC testing for their children.

As an individually administered test, the results are more reliable than group testing in a classroom, so in that respect it is a better test. The score is more useful because the results are broken down into different sections and a narrative of the child's demeanor and reactions to questions is included.
