[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was the GBRS rating?

A lot of high scoring kids were rejected in the first round this year, no one knows why.

Get a WISC and he will almost certainly get in on appeal.[/quote]

We requested the screening file and in the screening there was no score for GBRS, only the commentary section by teacher. The AART teacher said this year they are not scoring. I am wondering how everyone is getting to know the GBRS scores?[/quote]

Although the GBRS this year does not have a numerical score (4-16) the selection committee still had to "score" your child in each of the GBRS categories, using consistently observed, frequently observed or occasionally observed.  The GBRS with commentary will have this wording on each of the categories.  People have been using the shorthand all consistently, or 2 C, 1 F, etc for their GBRS scores.  Some people said it still really correlates to the numerical GBRS scale:  consistently is a 4, frequently is a 3 and occasionally is a 2 so you still get a number at the end.  For example all consistently would be like having a 16 on the old scale.  Hope this helps.[/quote]
