[quote=Anonymous]pp here, one more thing.  My son was/is wholly unaware of this process.  He did not know we applied, or that he was rejected, or even what his test scores were for that matter.  As far as how to help your daughter, I would try to keep her out of the loop for the appeal.  If you decide to do the WISC, I would not connect it to being "accepted" for anything.  Perhaps you could frame it as a fun thing, and not relate it to any rejection or appeal?  If you are waiting for an appointment for the WISC, you could not mention it in the weeks coming up to it.   I worry that it would be too much pressure for a 7-8 year old.  In all things, I find if my children sense my anxiety about something, they become anxious as well.

FWIW, I think it is not uncommon in many schools for children to be above grade level in math/reading. I think for the AAP placement, there is more to it.   For us, the real deciding factor to appeal, and parent refer this year was that our ds breezed through all work so easily, and his teacher mentioned many times that she had to stay on her toes to keep him moving ahead.
