DD (8) will be given the WISC V through school as part of additional testing for gifted programs. Do you have any links or basic information on the test (e.g., # questions, average duration). I am not concerned about actual questions, but rather testing strategies or approaches.
I believe the number of questions depends on how many they get right before reaching the discontinuation criteria, and duration as well, depends on how they do and which sub-tests the tester deems necessary.
Also, how close were these results to COGAT for your child? She basically hit the ceiling on the COGAT and wondering if her WISC will be directionally as high...
You may find the discussions in the archives on this test helpful. Some children seem to score higher on their WISC (or other ability tests) than their CogAT (even by a lot), others score lower. My DS scored very high on CogAT, while not as high on the WISC V (still in top 1%), which I found a little surprising.
