[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, had great work samples including fourth grade level math (solving multiple step multiplication and division problems) and a very well written essay.[/quote]

So what? Since when work samples trump everything else? [/quote]

Since the screening committee became aware of the extent of prepping for the tests, so they place more emphasis on other evidence.[/quote]

[b]My child's teacher submitted writing samples that showed the ability to think about and formulate ideas in a mature way. One essay had won an essay contest judged by the school's outside business sponsor. [/b]

If that's the case, then why the lower GBRS? Or the not-so-perfect report card grades? Why a WISC of 120? If everything else points to an OK (but not stellar) performer, I don't think that any kind of work samples should matter... [/quote]

Sorry, I posted the bolded post and I am not the same as the earlier poster.

Work samples, especially those produced at school, are important because they show what the child actually can do and give insight into how the child thinks. While a test is only one day, work samples are produced over time.  Writing samples are particularly useful in showing a child's thought process. They're worthwhile in that they help to give a fuller picture of the types of behaviors the child is exhibiting in class.
