2. [b]There are testers who consistently give students very high scores[/b].  If parents have figured this out, than you best believe admissions offices have as well, and take it into consideration when weighing test results.

from reading the AAP threads, I had suspected this, but here is someone, apparently in-the-know, willing to come out and say it.  It is just hard to see how kids with very high WISC get such low GBRS scores and this may be one possible explanation.[/quote]

It's b/c in many cases high WISC and low GBRS indicate that the kid may have issues like Asperger's or ADHD.  G&T programs serve this types of kids well BTW whereas  private schools try to weed them out with behavioral observations and play date.  Also, many of these kids come by their high WISC scores fairly and not by going though testers who are known to give high scores since many take the WISC/WIPSII as part of a complete neuropsych eval to get a diagnosis not primarily to get entrance into private school or a G&T program.[/quote]
