I don't think anything nefarious is going on. It is just a very poor implementation of a new system. IME, conspirosy theories lose out to incompetence every time.

Does WISC override lower CogAT, if WISC is very significantly higher?


A WISC of 132 or higher should work.

I may need to email my cluster super or school board member to find out where the rest of the report is. FCPS has a major fustercluck, again!


Agree, totally.

Historically, chances of acceptance are higher when you factor in additional testing, pool or no pool.
