[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I truly am a parent and believe it or not a FCPS teacher recommended the WISC.    She believes that the NNAT didn't reflect my DD at all and rather than take the NNAT again (which was in discussion) go right to WISC.   This is our  only child so I'm new to all this testing.[/quote]

BS.  A 1st grade teacher is not recommending your kid get an IQ test.  YOU may have asked if you could do another test but that's about it.  Tell s precisely how this conversation went.[/quote]

I can think of one circumstance: if the child basically came out delayed. But then, the county would do the testing (think scores <80)

When my DD took the NNAT, they did it in the second grade.  The teacher did not think the cogAT or NNAT represented her ability, as she got flustered during the test --- she wanted clarification on the instructions, which the teacher could not give.  The teacher and the AART said that there was no need to give her a WISC, that they could put an AAP package together that would show my DD nicely.  She was admitted.  FWIW, her scores were around 120.
