Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Help with calculating GAI please (WISC-V)

We just got the thumbs up email as well. Nice to "meet" you guys

Just got our acceptance too :-)

We got the acceptance as well. Congratulations to you all!

HI ChasingTwo, I had plugged her numbers into the only Pearson table I was able to find, which was for the WISC-IV, and it didn't look quite right to me, which is why I was wondering if someone has access to the WISC-V scale or if it even differs from the previous one!

I'm very interested to hear if anyone knows more about the extended norms or if they would apply in my daughter's case. She was tested back in February and I'm hesitant to pay the hourly rate for a consultation. Ooof!

Congrats to all of you!

Congratulations everyone! We just got the email, too. I'm curious, as I'm unsure if we did both parent enrollments properly...is the process automated? Should we have gained access to log in immediately? Or are we waiting until it is manually approved?

I filled out the enrollment signatures too but didn't gain access. Just an automated message saying we have received your submission. So I'm guessing it may take a day or two for them to process the info.

It takes a few days for them to assign you a consultant and get the paperwork done.

Thanks, ElizabethN

Yes, Corvidae, the WISC V GAI tables are different than the WISC IV tables. The values I listed were for the WISC V.

As for extended norms, they haven't been released yet for the WISC V, so they can't be calculated as of yet. However, when they are released, if you have the raw scores (not the scaled scores), you should be able to determine whether the scores change (assuming they will release the extended norm tables as well). if the raw score is very high on a subtest, it might increase the composite scores. There are some good older threads on this topic that explain it better than I do, but essentially, a higher raw score might translate into a higher scaled score.
