[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which is a harder more detailed test CogAT or WISC IV?[/quote]

I think WISC is taken more seriously because it is individually administered by a licensed psychologist, rather than given by a teacher to a group.  And (maybe more importantly) because FCPS parents are notorious about COGAT prepping, but you're not supposed to be able to prep for an IQ test / WISC (but if there is a way I'm sure FCPS parents have found it)[/quote]

The psychologist will be asked to provide a copy of their license. 
Plenty of parents look for an auntie in the field, and some psychologists are known for rounding up/writing similar reports for each kid.

AAP is on to those doctors who score for cash, so keep in mind not all practioners are looked at in the same light.

The the poster who had a GBRS of 12, that's a pretty great score.  A 10 is faint praise.  A 12 is better than most and can handle challenges most of the time.
The reading scores matter, too.

If a kid has a low DRA, they probably won't be able to keep up with the content.

If a kid has a low DRA they can use audio books.  That is how my DC accesses the material.[/quote]
