Might be true. My Son has WISC 139 and GBRS 6. I am pretty sure he does'nt deserve GBRS 6. Not sure what will happen in this appeal. We spent a lot for WISC and if they look at (teacher based rating) GBRS then whats the use of Kids writing WISC ?

Also, Based on my observation, very few kids got 140+.

139 is pretty good score, good luck!! - GBRS is very subjective, especially shy kids get undone in GBRS..

Per hoagies site, 139 on WISC V is highly gifted.

Don't understand why cant they send emails.

Nothing here today either (20151). I bet the letters don't arrive until Friday so the office can dodge questions from parents.
