Our twins were found ineligible in the first round.

Here are the detailed scores of both that are almost identical-
Child 1: NNAT 132, Cogat 118, GBRS 13
Child 2: NNAT 133, Cogat 120, GBRS 13

We decided to appeal and have WISC IV testing done. Here are the scores for both child:
Child1 WISC : VCI 126, PRI 131, Working Memory 102, PSI 109. Full Scale = 124
Child2 WISC : VCI 121, PRI 127, Working Memory 110, PSI 126. Full Scale = 128

Child1 has less overall score more but high in VCI and PRI
Child2 has high overall score more but high in VCI and PRI

Please provide your feedback and comments on both Child about their chances during appeal. I am confused if they both have good chances or one has better than the other.

You meant to say that,

Child1 WISC : VCI 126, PRI 131, Working Memory 102, PSI 109. Full Scale = 124
Child2 WISC : VCI 121, PRI 127, Working Memory 110, PSI 126. Full Scale = 128

Child1 has less overall score more but HIGH in VCI and PRI
Child2 has high overall score more but LOW in VCI and PRI

I believe that the child with the stronger WISC has a fair chance. The child with the lower WISC will have a slightly lower chance.

Are you prepared for any outcome? What would you do if one were found eligible and the other was not?

Million Dollar Question!!. We are confused as what to do..

So you believe that only the overall WISC matters and not the subtest scores?.

I think the 102 and 109 will definitely catch the committee's eye.

Are your kids happy in your base school? Do their teachers "get" them and provide a day where they are actively engaged in learning?

Just finish the screening process. Stop trying to second guess it. If they both get accepted to a center, then they both go. And if only one gets accepted, keep them both at the base school. Do not even entertain the nonsense of splitting twins on 2 different campuses.
