I have a question about WISC scores.  My DC would meet the 135+, but only for GAI because there is a signficant difference between the verbal and perceptive reasonging and the processing and working memory scores.  Her FSIQ is lower (because processing was so slow -- the tester noted that it is probably because DC has fine motor difficulties and it is written).  From my research I've learned that many believe GAI is a better indicator of "giftedness" than FSIQ.  Does anyone know how FCPS addresses this?  Will they look at FSIQ only?  I had the test doen at George Mason, so all of the subtests are included and I think it gives a great picture of DC's profile.  ALso, the tester did not recommend any follow up because DC does well in school.

Any expereince with this on appeal???[/quote]

No experience on appeal, but my DC is in the GT Center now with an FSIQ of only 135 and a GAI of 158 (due to issues re: processing speed).  DC ceilinged out on two of the subtests.[/quote]
