[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is a really low CogAT. And you fear the WISC will say the same, which is why you are not doing it.[/quote]

Or maybe it could be that it costs about $400 and not everyone has that kind of cash laying around.[/quote]

The AART at our school told my friend that her kid's (low) CogAT would likely result in a very similar WISC score.  As a result, she is not getting the WISC because she does fear the score will be low.  (NP here)[/quote]

I cannot stand when AARTs say this. They should say it can but sometimes a kid just has a bad day on CogAT day. My DS got a 111 on CogAT. NNAT was 131 so he was not in pool. We had a WISC done when we saw the NNAT (before CogAT results came in). FSIQ was 145. Submitted it with original packet and got in on first round. Now imagine if I hadn't had the WISC done. I would most likely have not referred or even if I did and was thinking of appealing and thought the WISC would be close to 111, wouldn't have gotten it done. What a missed opportunity. [/quote]
