[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding was WISCs were usually higher than CogAts.[/quote]

My understanding is the opposite.  CogATs produce a lot of false high scores.  At the very least, CogAT has a standard deviation of 16 and WISC has a SD of 15, so the same percentile ranking on both tests would result in a slightly lower WISC.  The only time I've heard that WISCs could be higher is if the child is a divergent thinker who overthinks CogAT problems but can explain reasoning and get credit on the WISC.

For OP's questions:  Anything 30 and above should be fine for DRA.  The schools aren't consistent in how and when they measure, and the DRA is capped anyway.
You could submit iready scores, but I'm not sure that they would help.  If you google search, you should be able to find the grade levels corresponding to the iready scores. I wouldn't even consider using the iready unless the scores were at least above grade level.   One of my kids had a much lower WISC than CogAT.  The other kid has only a slightly lower WISC.  No clue about the work samples or new GBRS.  My kid's GBRS committee was the principal, the AART, and the 2nd grade teacher.  The 1st grade teacher was not involved.[/quote]
