[quote=Anonymous]I said this before on another thread but will reiterate:  If you submit at WISC score on appeal, the CogAT scores essentially drop out of the equation (CogAT group test is a quick, cheap, broad-brush attempt to identify the gifted, but WISC is the reliable real deal).  The NNAT (which is a different animal) can mildly enter the calculus on appeal.  Other than that, they consider GBRS and grades.  End of story.  It's a numbers game from there, and don't kid yourself that a sterling letter from Coach Billy makes any difference.  Several technical studies have reported that VCI is the best predictor of "g", or general intelligence, and VCI is a close second.  The WMI and PSI do not correlate to "g" and, in fact, the typical gifted profile reflects average or high average scores on WMI and PSI.  I am guessing that, if the AAP committee does favor verbal over non-verbal test scores (and I would place that in the "rumor" category as there is no hard evidence), then these studies are the reason why.[/quote]
