[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think wisc helps with appeal? Score 150, all 4s on reports.

Please advise[/quote]

Stop gaming the system. Too many people cheat with wisc. [/quote]

How so?  There aren't many psychologists who would risk their license to give someone an inflated IQ score.  Also, PP could get a WISC at GMU, which isn't going to be cheating.  
I'm not at all worried about letting kids into AAP who have gifted level WISC scores.  WISC is more accurate than any other assessments used.  I'm much more worried about the many kids already in AAP who wouldn't test even close to a WISC of 130 if they actually had been tested.  [/quote]

DP.  What is considered a “good” or reasonable WISC for a kid who would be appropriate for and successful in AAP?  Really just curious what the consensus on this is (so thoughts from multiple people here with AAP knowledge and experience very welcome).

My second grader is in for next year, and had a WISC, but not because we sought one - it was part of his special education qualification 3 year re-evaluation and was given by the school psychologist last year.  I *think* his overall score was 131, with some sections higher and then a section that was crazy low - like in the 70s or 80s. His strong suits are math and reading and he has the vocabulary of an adult. I know he’s a bright kid, but he definitely has challenges (has had an IEP in FFX since age 3 and attended one of the county special Ed preschool programs), and I am wondering how AAP is going to work out for him.  I do trust that his school knows what environment is the best one for him though (they know him pretty well).[/quote]
