GT/AAP Appeals WISC Scores

[Anonymous]

Submitted appeal with these scores:

WISC 147
SB 132
GBRS 8

+ parent letter and some work samples from school with teachers marks and comments.

Was wondering what are the chances for eligibility.

You had your child take both the SB and the WISC?

Geez.

Is Geez a word? If so what does it mean?

I always thought that Geez is a shortened form of "Gee whiz". Like a contraction.

In a nutshell, it means that spending that much on testing for a mediocre program is pretty insane.

I am not the original poster with the scores but I thought this is a place for parents to share scores. I came here to look for info on cutoff scores for appeal also.

Plus, if this is so mediocre why are you reading the posts and leaving comments? Or is it only insane when you realize that others to want what you also want? *sigh*

What is the logic behind having a kid take the Stanford Binet and WISC in such a short timeframe. Why isn't one sufficient?

Since he had no other scores (the ones the school gives due to recent move to the county) so when WISC of 147 got rejected I was advised to take SB to cover for the missing school based tests.

What was the score breakdown on the WISC? Is there a notably different subscore?

Super troll! A wisc of 147 is like a unicorn.... almost never seen. No way that a child with a 147 Wisc did not get into AAP. Not a chance in hell. A 147 GUARANTEES admission into AAP. Game set and match.

My dd got 122v, 125q and 130 nv in cogat when she was in third grade. She got similar scores when she took cogat in 2nd grade too. I prepared her for the test in third grade as I felt she was much more capable than the scores she got in 2nd. Preparation did not really help much as the scores did not improve. She is 10 years old now and is in 5th grade. She is born right before cut off and is the youngest in the class. She is very bright and met/exceeded DYS cut off score in explore test in 4th and 5th grades. She took middle school math placement test this year, and the receiving team were concerned about her placement as she got max score on all the three tests that were given. Since she was performing well above grade level in all areas and not just in math, the school decided to give her WISC to see if she can be accelerated by an entire grade. I had no idea about wisc and the school psychologist tested her the same day they took my permission for testing. So there was absolutely no preparation on this one. They also gave her kaufman achievement test the next day. She scored a full scale 148 (136 verbal, 141 perceptual. The school report did not include working memory and procesing speed scores) on wisc and 99.9 on reading and writing composite and > 99.9 in math composite in kaufman. She is now qualified for DYS, and the school recommended grade acceleration. Her HAL ( high ability learner) teacher and class teacher also think she is extremely bright. She also participated in some state level competitions and did extremely well. I'm not sure how she got lower score in cogat which I had prepped her, but got much higher scores in wisc, explore and kaufman which she took totally unprepared. Do I have to worry about lower cogat scores from 2nd and 3rd grade ? Does anyone hsve similar experience? Fyi.. I'm from a midwest state. Since this forum seems to have lot of information about cogat and wisc I am posting here. Thank you

Several members of our family and friends have these high scores. And they all went Magnet or private. FCPS AAP program is not going to be very challenging for your DD.

A 147 is uncommon, but definitely not that rare.
