[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there ways to get kids ready for a WISC? Not "prep" but more just to make sure they don't do poorly bc they have never been exposed to such questions? Is it much like the CogAT?[/quote]

Yes, there are companies that sell prep materials. If you’re curious about your child’s actual IQ, prepping will give you an inflated number. So it won’t be “real.” Most people don’t prep for the WISC, and so your child’s results will be compared to children who were never exposed to those questions.

If your goal, however, is solely to get a high number so that you can reject an appeal, you should be able to find prep materials to preview by running a search.[/quote]

My goal is to get a score that reflects DC's ability. I know that going into tests completely cold can disadvantage a test taker so that their score is less reflective of ability. That's my concern. I'm not curious about DC's IQ and wouldn't have them take the test if it wasn't something that could be useful for AAP admission.[/quote]
