[quote=Anonymous]What happens when a kid, with scores that clearly indicate a great mind (including a great WISC), has to overcome a low GBRS? Of course, the fact that such a kid got a low GBRS in the first place is unnatural, but let's blame it on the parents not being members of the school's "mom culture" or on the kid not being an "in-your-face" personality when it comes to displaying knowledge. Either way, GBRS is low but all scores point to a highly intelligent kid. The AART said in a nutshell that "GBRS carries the most weight and can override test scores", a paradoxical statement if true, because in this case, why are kids even tested? If nothing trumps a GBRS, then it seems to me that the only thing that is needed for AAP placement is GBRS. If you have a good GBRS you're in, if not, no matter what scores you have, you're out. Any similar experiences? Thoughts?[/quote]
