[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]128 COGAT here (very high in verbal, more average in quantitative) and very strong HOPE scores (3 always, the rest almost always).  Our DC is registered for the WISC next week.  I feel like, if she scored above 135+, it would be a new data point that we could point to (in addition to submitting a new letter and work samples).  Plus, I think a full-fledged IQ test like this is interesting -- for AAP purposes and just for general knowledge of your child's strengths.

I understand it is a cost commitment and time commitment, but I think it's worth it for kids whose scores are borderline.[/quote]

Even with very good scores and being in pool, we are thinking of not investing in WISC. Would a good WISC be good to get it for a DC who was in pool and not getting selected? I've lost confidence in the system[/quote]

If the test scores were good enough to be in the pool, then I don't think a WISC is necessary.  Did you get the packet from your school's AART?  You need to identify why you think your DC was not selected (low HOPE scores, average work samples, etc) and then bolster those areas on appeal.  I think a WISC can help demonstrate that a kid with borderline test scores actually can perform highly enough for Level IV.  For your kid, that's most likely not the committee's concern.

The process is very difficult. [/quote]
