[quote=Anonymous]From what I can tell, the group test scores and GBRS are weighted about the same. It is just that we do not know things like the the mean values of GBRS. However, based on a older report, we can assume the GBRS x 10 is about the same as the test scores. So, a 13 GBRS is like 130 in the cogAT's. That may not be exactly right. Now, lets assume it is a numbers game. (GBRS x10 + test scores)/2 > 125 and you are in. So with a 9 GBRS and 140 test scores, toy are at 115, and not in. An 11 and 140, and you are in. (these numbers can be constrained from last years reports on the boards). As an example, my DD had a 15 GBRS, and 120 test score two years ago, so she was in. I do not know if this is the actual algorithm, as I am reverse engineering it, but it seems to work. Note that WISC replaces the algorithm. It seems like 128 WISC and you are in regardless of the other factors.[/quote]
