[quote=Anonymous]WISC is not offered or required by FCPS. But some people have their child take the WISC as an added data point (particularly in case an appeal is needed if Naglieri or CogAT is low). You can schedule a WISC assessment (it's an IQ test administered by a psychologist or a grad student, as it is done at GMU) through GMU or through a psychologist in private practice. Costs the same amount (around $400) but is very reliable. With a score of 125 or better, (especially if certain sub scores are over 135), it can help an appeal or bolster an original submission with lower CogAT scores, as WISC is delivered in a one-on-one setting and is considered to be a more reliable indication of intelligence and comes with a detailed writeup from the person administering the test. If it doesn't turn out that your child's score would help your case, you just don't submit the results. Either way, it gives some good insight into your child's strengths and areas of weakness.
