[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

This is the OP here. We have done zero prepping, DC had no idea about those tests, AAP program, etc. 
However we are in the search of a good cogat prep program to appeal it next year. Sadly, we are choosing to prep our child this time with frustration[/quote]

Is your child above grade level in both math and reading?  If so, it's ridiculous that something as subjective as a GBRS kept your child out.  97th percentile in intelligence + high achievement should be IN, even if the teacher doesn't "see" gifted behaviors.  [/quote]

DC is not above grade level in neither of these but he is very strong in math, his grades are all 4s on the academics side but there are few 2s and 3s on the behavioral side. I agree, this is ridiculous especially given that the teacher is not a perfect fit. AARTeacher is always super busy to get to know the kids in our school, unfortunately. I am not impressed with neither of them since the beginning.[/quote]
