[quote=Anonymous]I keep seeing people mention the WISC-IV. I am considering scheduling this test for my son because I feel his most recent scores do not reflect his abilities. He had two sections that were very high and one that was closer to average. I know that he is capable of doing the work in AAP and that he wants to be challenged. He is bright, inquisitive, and has a creative way of thinking. If my son does not get into the program and we decide to appeal, I might schedule him for additional testing. Is the WISC-IV similar to the CogAt? How long does it take? What sections does it contain? Do you feel it gives a better picture of a child's abilities? Is it worth it?

I have been trying to find websites that give additional information on this test, but many of them require me to become a site member. So, I thought I would check here first before committing to anything. I don't know how long it takes to schedule the WISC-IV test or how long it takes to get results. I may schedule him for an appointment soon in anticipation of possibly appealing the committee's decision in a April. Thank you for any advice you can give me.[/quote]
