    Interesting... Instead of needing an IQ test plus an achievement test, now you only need one qualifying score. The portfolio is optional.

    SAHM - this is huge for our family. DS7 has WISC scores that easily qualify him, but he missed the achievement score by less than 1 percent. I'm so excited that he might qualify now. Thank you, thank you for posting about this change.

    This is great for DD. We are with you Suevv, DD clearly qualified with WISC scores but not with Ach.

    I think this is a huge and important change that will benefit many 2e kids especially. I'm so pleased about the change. Don't know how it came about - but thanks Davidson!

    Thanks for the info. We were just thinking that summer might be a good time to start getting things lined up for DD10 to apply.

    I am so excited as well! This change will qualify DS as he does not have achievement testing. He is 2e. Agreed, this is great news for 2e kids!

    They have also dropped the acceptance scores for WJiii from150 to 145. Mayhave done that with the WPPSI as well.
