[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NNAT 128
COGAT 126
GBRS 8

DC was not found eligible in the first round, appealed with WISC 128 (97%) and recommendation letters and got denied again.

Details of WISC - Full Scale 128 - 97% 
Verbal Comprehension 88%
Visual Spatial              97%
Fluid Reasoning           94%
Working Memory         68%
Processing Speed        63% [/quote]

I wonder if, when the committee sees high scores as above, coupled with moderate/low processing speed -- if they suspect prepping.

Not suggesting that you did or didn't prep -- just wondering if that is what the committee is thinking.[/quote]

NP, but if the committee suspects that, then they're morons completely unqualified to do their jobs.  The WMI and PSI subtests are the most straightforward and would be the easiest by far to prep.  Practicing fast completion of a fairly menial task (pretty much all of the PSI subtests), and practicing recalling digit sequences (WMI) would be relatively easy and could lead to increased results.  A quick google search showed me what is included in the Coding and Digit Span tests.  It would be trivial to make a game out of those and prep my kids, should I be so inclined.  I have no idea how you would really prep the other sections.

Also, it's common for smart kids to have lower PSI.  Part of that is that they're methodical and afraid of making mistakes.  Part of that could be sacrificing speed for neatness.

People need to just stop with the "suspected prepping" nonsense.  [/quote]
