[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of people would support that you need to have scores above a specific level and no appeals. Set it at what ever the 85% mark is for the region on the NNAT and the CogAT. Teacher evals for anyone who hit one score but not the other.

But I suspect that would cause people to freak out.[/quote]
WISC given by GMU should always be an option.  But it should be cut and dried.  130+ FSIQ and you're in.  Less than that, and you're not.  [/quote]

Only if there is a way to pay for it for families who cannot afford it, otherwise it is an advantage to well off parents.[/quote]

GMU does offer a free or reduced-price WISC if you are below a certain income level, although I read somewhere it's done in a group setting. If that's true, I could imagine it might impact results. There's still the issue of getting to the testing center (time off work, transportation, language barriers, etc). I've said before that if the schools brought GMU testers onsite for kids in these situations, they would probably identify a considerable amount of lower-SES and URM students who would do well in AAP.
