I called the AAP general number and spoke to a staff member who spoke about the benefits of WISC compared to the Cogat and NNAT. Specifically, they indicated that they liked the detailed 5-10 page report produced and felt the descriptive nature was very helpful in making decisions. Given this, they felt that Cogat or NNAT were not necessary.

But then only rich people can get it for the most part.[/quote]

WISC is available at GMU at reduced fee for those who meet the criteria. [/quote]

Anyone successfully use a WISC instead of a NNAT? I hear a lot of people mentioning using WISC for appeals but not so much to replace a test they would have gotten had the child been in school.

NNAT is the least reliable test and it’s unclear how much longer FCPS is going to bother using it. If I were coming from private or homeschool, I’d get the WISC, bc it provides a more accurate profile than CogAT. [/quote]

Why do people say this? [/quote]
