[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If admission were based only on test scores, this argument would have validity.

Chill out and wait for the admission decisions before you freak out. There is an appeal process for a reason.[/quote]

My child was born in July (young) and scored 93%.  He was sick during the NNAT test and scored 130.  Did not make the cut off.   He has good grades.

We cannot afford the WISC, I cannot appeal with any new test scores.  Doesn't look good for us.[/quote]

Get the support of your teacher so she gives a good write up.

For your parent referal pages, find data on test age norming and the amount of difference it can make to the score.  Submit that, along with a note the your child was in the lowest age bracket taking the test, and that if the test had been age norm, the difference to his score could have been xxxx points, according to standard testing protocol.

It will take a little research time on your behalf, but it might very well make the difference.  Good luck and keep us posted![/quote]
