[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems gbrs lower than 10 will overweight great test scores, and a high gbrs can bring low test scores into the program? What tests are for then? If I understand correctly, gbrs is pretty subjective, based on opinion of a teacher, while tests are more uniform and standardized..[/quote]

GBRS is based on committee, not one teacher though the 2nd gr teacher carries a lot of weight.[/quote].

Committee of whom? I suspect a child should be reviewed at least by people who work with, otherwise they cannot observe any behaviors. Since they are still humans, there could be bias. Tests are just less biased.[/quote]

If it was just based on tests, then parents of kids who are poor test takers but perhaps shine as unique, out of the box thinkers would miss an opportunity for admittance.  If it was just based on the GBRS, the reverse would be true.  Let me guess, your kid did good on the testing but the GBRS has you worried.[/quote]

Yes, my kid did good above cut off on both tests, but we do not know GBRS yet, the profiles are not even compiled yet. I was hoping my "waiting" is done, seems not. :-) Is that normal to ask for GBRS from APP teacher closer to February (when profiles are compelted), or it would come out as being pushy?[/quote]

Pushy.  Ask for it if your kid is denied and you are planning on appealing.  You want to know the full picture before filing the appeal if only so that you can support areas where the file shows a bit of weakness.[/quote]
