[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, are you out of your mind?  [b]In what IQ based test do younger kids score equally to older ones?[/b]  Those raising issues with the test here have every right to, it was bungled by those supposedly making it more fair and equitable to the process.   Also, I am sick and tired of hearing those lecturing that it doesn't matter, just refer in, its a package deal, a percent here or there doesn't matter, etc.  For many borderline kids, and there will be many, it does matter.  Those who do not reach pool level scores will most likely have to take the WISC and appeal.  This is an added burden and to many a cost that may not be affordable.  Also, less informed parents may not even know the best way to mount an appeal.

On the other side, there are an equal number of red shirted kids who are benefiting at the cost of those who were not age adjusted up, and into the pool.  An equal number of them would have to drop out for those younger ones who deserve to be in.[/quote]
Just saying, even if your young July child's scores were normed for age, If they scored in the 60s-80s, no age norming will make a difference.  They still will not be in the qualifying range of 95%.  Age norming does not raise a score 15-30 points, when you are basically talking about a 15 month spread.  [b][i]  That [/i][/b]is a fact.[/quote]

[b]We are speaking of those in the low 90's, not those who missed it by 20%.  Come on, be real.[/b]  [/quote]

No, read the threads.  There are many, many outraged parents who are upset about no age norming whose kids scored in the 60-80 range.

There have been very, very few posts by upset parents of kids who scored in the 90-95% range.   Most of these have a qualifying NNAT, and say so in their posts.  They are not expressing the same outrage as the ones who scored too low for it to make a difference. [/quote]
