[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am still waiting for my kid’s results. But wow the above scores with 132 composite and 126/134/120 is not strong enough on its own?! I did not know that.[/quote]

The process is holistic.  If the CogAT is the only thing in the packet that indicates giftedness, it probably won't be enough.  Even kids who are in-pool need either a good GBRS, good work samples, or something else in the packet that convinces the committee to admit the kid.  About 1/3 of in pool kids are rejected, and most of those kids probably only had a high test score.[/quote]

This. If 1/3 of in pool candidates are rejected, it is likely those with one score that is just barely in pool and one that is nowhere close. Of course, here, you have a WISC score that is consistent with the CogAT and combined they would certainly point to a determination of eligible. Why not include it. You may not need it if GBRS is strong but you can’t know that and it sounds like the teacher doesn’t perceive OP’s kids as very smart. Include it OP. With it, I’d be shocked if your kid were not found eligible. [/quote]
