Sure,
2nd grade :
October 2017
NNAT - 99 percentile
COGAT- V- 88, Q-99, NV-99, C- 99
Composite- 139
Result - Rejected, we thought less score in verbal could have been a reason
Appeal January 2018:
WISC - 99 percentile
Result - Rejected, we thought private psychologist instead of GMU was the reason

3rd grade :
January 2019
NNAT - 99 percentile
COGAT- V- 99, Q-99, NV-99, C- 99
Composite- 153
Result - Rejected, we couldn’t imagine any reason. I had come to this forum and many where supportive and giving me hope and options while few didn’t believe a kid can be found ineligible with this score
Appeal May 2019:
WISC - 99.7 percentile (GMU)
Result - Rejected, so our theory of private psychologist vs GMU seem to be incorrect too.

4th grade :
January 2020
Same COGAT and WISC as previous year, didn’t write any tests this year.
COGAT- V- 99, Q-99, NV-99, C- 99
Composite- 153
WISC - 99.7 percentile (GMU)
Result - Selected.

What we did differently this time around,
* I too thought if scores are good then no need for worksheets and didn’t pay much attention last 2 years. Not true.
* For Math- I selected school tests and worksheets that clearly showed the steps ( rough work) to get to the answers preferably teachers corrected
* For language- one school project with a painting and explanation like storm or earthquake and one essay on general topic like global warming. Essay was basic with what goes through in kids mind.
* Didn’t add any other worksheets like painting
* Added certificates from school and extra curricular activities
* Most importantly did not add any photos of the kid with trophies as we did by mistake the previous year.
* In the summary sheet, just listed how the kid is ahead in subjects and other activities in short few sentences

I know how we were looking for answers last year around, hence this post.

Rejection did not bothered us but not knowing the reason did. Hope this post helps someone.
