[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would AAP reject a kid with a 140 WISC? That's extremely high. Are kids going to prep classes to get these scores?[/quote]

[b]You can't prep for an IQ test[/b]. Why is this so hard for people to understand. WISC is not like the CogAT or NNAT. There are no prep courses! [/quote]

Of course you can, and of course there are prep courses.  That's why you aren't supposed to take the same type of IQ test more than once a year, because taking them too close together has a similar effect to prepping.

As for how many 2nd graders prep for an IQ test, I don't think it's very many.  But I have no real way of knowing.  [/quote]

It is posts like this that show how little people actually know and understand what IQ tests are measuring, No, you cannot prep and anyone who tells you differently is wrong.  As for practice efforts, they are actually very small.  Taking the WISC twice within a year (for study purposes only), only results in a 2 point increase in verbal and 6-8 point in performance.  That is not going to turn an average kids into a kid with. 140 plus IQ.  [/quote]
