[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The scores need to be in the top 2%. That is the 98% or higher or super high GBRS and Scores that are around the 98%. At the 90% and 75% you would not want your child in level 4 unless it was strongly recommended by the School. They basically skip 3rd grade math... If you have the $ get the WISC "They say" it still needs to be 132+ (still top 2 %). You should talk to your school about level 2 or 3. Schools may fill local level 4 with level 3 students simply to fill seats. [/quote]

The pool STARTS w/ the top 2% and is widened with parent referrals, then appeals. OP's kid appears bright - don' t let the 90%,75% scores tell you differently -  ask DC's teacher if they are capable of AAP math. From our DC's experience,  3rd grade math isn't skipped, they review 2nd grade, do 3rd grade and half of 4th grade math. WISC scores are more heavily weighted that Cogat (IMHO), they don't have to be 132+ - ours and other posters have found their kids scored much more strongly on WISC.[/quote]
