[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone who has used the WISC have a sense of where the cutoff is?  My DD just missed the cutoff on the NNAT and CogAT by 1 point so she took the WISC.  Got a 124 which is the 95th percentile. All 3 tests are 94-97th percentile. Just wondering.[/quote]

I'm not sure 125 is a "bright line", but if my child had a 124 WISC I wouldn't submit it in the first round. See if your child is admitted without it. If you need to appeal, I'm not sure the 124 will be enough unless you have[b] other new information to go with it[/b].[/quote]

New other information such as :

- Stanford Binet test
- Achievement scores on other tests
- Very strong work samples (DCUMdom will say that work samples are useless but I think they were helpful)
- Recommendation letters that cite specific examples (Again, DCUMdom will say that they are useless... )

If you are not sure that your 124 will be enough, I'd definitely put all other supporting information to support why your child should be considered.
