[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not get a WiSC to appeal for LIV services. It is not worth the money and time for me. Admittedly, we are happy at our base school and stayed there for the language immersion program so we would have been less concerned about LIV services.

I would look at a WiSC if my child had one done as part of an evaluation for learning issues and I had it on hand or if I was concerned about possible learning issues and it was the first step in exploring those possibilities. The other possibility is if you had one done as part of looking at private schools.

The point of the appeal, as I see it, is to get your child’s packet in front of a different group of people to look at. A well written letter that address any lower marks in the GBRSs and some new work samples have worked for a lot of people and will take less time and money then taking your child to take the WiSC.

Disagree, it's a proven method to bolster your claims of giftedness with objective documentation, but your kid has to knock it out of the park. One thing that I've heard is common is to book multiple WISC evals with different psychs to ensure your kid is familiar with the format. This helps them put their best foot forward.[/quote]

The psychologist will flag the result as invalid if the kid seems too familiar with the test questions or format.  I guess you would need some intensive acting classes in addition to all of the practice WISCs if you want your kid to convince a trained psychologist that he didn't cheat.  [/quote]

Yeah, and if the kid is so "gifted," he might just make a comment to reveal his familiarity.  I don't know if it is cheating in a system which is so subjective, but it seems a little desperate. [/quote]
