[quote=Anonymous][quote]My DC got 135 (41/4 and it was still 99% for his age. I wouldn't be surprised if the pool cutoff is higher than 132 next year - does anyone know what the highest pool cutoff has been?

[b]It seems that one or two questions off combined with age differences could mean making the pool or not.[/b] I'm not sure for what range I would start considering the Wisc, it really depends on the child and all the other factors. We didn't prep but did mention that he would be takign a test that day and that he should try his best - and that there might not be a lot of time for all the questions.[/quote]

The age difference alone is enough to put a child out of the pool.  My child got the SAME number of questions correct - 41/48 - and scored a 126, 95th percentile - a 9-point difference in the scaled score!  That score definitely will not make the pool next year.

FWIW, I'd be surprised if the cutoff went higher than 132. This year, to narrow the pool, they went with composite on the CogAT instead of using subtest scores, rather than raising the cutoff number.[/quote]
