[quote=Anonymous]19:14 and 23:29: I am the reverse engineer. From my experience (first and knowledge from DD), a profile of all tests around 120 (not in pool) coupled with strong GBRS (15) will result in the child being accepted. From what I can tell, they are specifically not looking for a single good score, but rather the overall package. The committee is aware that some kids prep for the test, which can alter the scores (according to reports on the companies that sell the prep) by 15-20 points, particularly on some subtests. Such preparation does not really improve the childs ability. As such, a large disparity in the scores is not a plus, but not necessarily a negative. (they look at composite scores, not the highest subtest). This is also why WISC is considered better: the WISC is an intelligence test. With the 3000-5000 applicants the committee evaluates, though, they have to just focus on the numbers.[/quote]
