I would hate to think people prep children for IQ tests...because what happens? Well in order to keep the services appropriate, they just raise the bar. The majority of other places a 127 IQ is amazing, 130? Definitely. Here the fact that they require a 132 composite and won't even look twice at turning down a 130 WISC V? I don't even know what that is....[/quote]

I agree! I'm a neuropsychologist and I've given hundreds of WISCs.  It is very rare to have children score in the 130s and above.  I can't believe the scores parents are reporting here.  I can count on one hand how many children I've testers above a 140 in the past 10 years. [/quote]

I don't know if people are prepping for the WISC.  I can say that my when my kid took the WISC at GMU and scored in the high 130s, the tester seemed very impressed, as if he very rarely sees scores like that.  Perhaps a lot of people don't realize that the NNAT and CogAT aren't IQ tests, so they're reporting those scores as IQs.  [/quote]
