[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm sure the committee is alert to someone hiring a pyschologist to come up with a report that, surprise, who has a really high score. I'll bet this happens a lot. Hiring an expert, paid by the parents, lessens the value of these scores. Why would kid magically do better on one test than on two administered under the same coniditions for all kids--gee, why don't colleges allow private SATs?? The COGAT has 3 parts and is administered on 3 different days--so the kid all these days? The County should limit extra testing to only GMU. [/quote] This assumes there is only one single profile of gifted learners and that they will all do well on a given test. Which is just not true. But GMU simply does not have the capacity to test all the kids whose parents may want WISC testing.[/quote]
