[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can both CogAT and NNAT be high with a lower WISC? I know that NNAT is not too much respected, or at least not as much as the CogAT, but for this kid the NNAT and CogAT were consistent. [/quote]

Absolutely.  Both CogAT and NNAT are multiple choice, both are easily prepped, and neither one is even close to as comprehensive as the WISC, and neither has a particularly high ceiling.

There isn't a benefit to getting a WISC for a child who has high CogAT and NNAT.  FCPS mostly discounts the WISC for AAP admissions.  [/quote]

It’s for me, not for the admission. [/quote]

Then don't have your DC prep for it.[/quote]

Sure. Didn’t prep for the other two. The question was if it’s possible? Will I get new information ?[/quote]

It only gives you useful information if your child potentially has an undiagnosed LD, or if your child is potentially an outlier with needs beyond what AAP can provide.  I suppose if a parent has an overinflated view of your child's abilities, it might give a much needed reality check.  Aside from that, it's not likely to give you any information about your child that you didn't already know.

If your child has a 135 CogAT, but only scores a 120 FSIQ, how would that really change anything?  Would you set lower expectations or in any way treat or view your child differently?  Would you push or encourage them less than if they had a 135 FSIQ?  [/quote]

You ask very good questions. I guess I’m trying to figure out a bit of everything. [/quote]
