This is not the kind of advice our AART gave us. For the math sample, look for something that requires creative thinking to get a solution. We used a problem from NRICH Maths that was math but required spatial reasoning for my kid who did not-great on the CogAT non-verbal. Their problems are similar to the kinds of creative thinking worksheets that came home from the level I AART enrichment at our school in 1st and 2nd. My other kid did a board game based on math and explained their thinking behind the game. The game was not ground-breaking, similar to a hybrid between The Ladybug Game and Sleeping Queens, but it was still fun.
Then the AART said we definitely also needed language arts, and other subjects were a bonus. We typically did literature entries in the Reflections Art Contest which require an artists statement as well as the story/poem. The artist's statement showed the child's critical thinking. If you don't have something like that, just have your kid write a brief explanation of the sample. According to our AART you always want to have your child, in their own words, explain their sample.

Is there any iq test would recommend to support my appeal !
Can I appeal just with iready since his winter iready for reading and math is 99%?
Is it would be enough?!

Also focus your write up on concrete examples of how he fits into the hope scale. And also why AAP is necessary for his growth potential (what he won’t get from GE).
