[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no guaranteed score, as it is possible to even game a WISC.  The test becomes unreliable if taken multiple times in a short period.  But, I have seen people do that.  They go for multiple tests until the score improves to the 132 number.  For some, the cost of the WISC is not significant.

If you go to different providers, the retaking may not be known....

On the down side, a low energy day can result in a lower score, even on the WISC.

The long term observations are important and are harder to game.   [/quote]

Then any subsequent test is invalid and they are cheating.  There should be a minimum of 3 years between tests and no psychologist will give back to back tests unless the parent is lying and doesn’t tell them. [/quote]

A WISC would be so much harder and more expensive to game than simply prepping the kid really well for CogAT or prepping the kid to look advanced to the 2nd grade teacher.  Any kid who can be prepped to a 130 WISC can be prepped much more easily to a much higher CogAT, since CogAT covers much less ground than WISC.  There are also so many prep camps, classes and books for NNAT and CogAT, but none for WISC.

No measure is perfect, but the WISC is by far the most reliable one.  It makes no sense to reject kids with over a 130 FSIQ.  [/quote]
