[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would a WISC test even help an applicant with a 160 NNAT 144 COGAT? The applicant has already shown advanced test taking ability. It's the in-classroom behavior that's lacking.[/quote]

Depends. Are the subsections pretty even? Do the work samples and HOPE rating reflect advanced ability? The tests can be prepped, WISC less so. [/quote]

A 144 overall CoGAT can't be achieved without 130+ on all the subsections. The committee is not holding their nose at a 135/160/160 QNV.  They would be focusing on the weaknesses in the application, which a 160 WISC won't address.[/quote]

DP -- A competent AAP teacher should be able to reach a kid with such scores, but you're probably right, they may try to find reasons to reject such a child --the kind with potential who isn't working to his or her potential in gen ed.  Unless the child is an URM, then the committee might work to admit him or her in the interests of equity.   I'm pretty confident that my kid -with good HOPE scores and NNAT/CogAt in the 140's from a lower SES school--should get in, but who knows.
