Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Applying to Young Scholars with a WISC V score

Hi- DD8 just completed the WISC V and obtained a GAI of 143 at 99.8% and a FISQ of 140 at 99.6% (lowered by high average processing speed - which may have been our fault since we tell her not to rush). My understanding is that this is the first year of the WISC V and there is a "Flynn effect" with the new versions in which the scores will be lower than those tested later on. I did see the Young Scholar scores are for 145 for admission. Is any consideration given to the first year of the WISC V scores? Our child would greatly benefit from this program. Thank you.
