Well, are going to send in our DYS application for DS6 today! Hopefully the achievement score that is 1 std dev beyond the cutoff will compensate for the wisc gai that is 2 pts below the cutoff. I think the portfolio is pretty solid too.

Edit: The gifted wiki (I have no idea who maintains this) says this of the DYS application procedure: "If both IQ and achievement scores have been obtained and one is almost but not quite above the cutoff, a lesser portfolio showing might be required." http://www.giftedwiki.org/index.php...lio#Discussions_on_DYS_portfolio_shtml_0

We decided not to mention that DS got only 4 hrs sleep prior to the wisc, as the tester did not notice fatigue. We are proud of his scores and don't want to make excuses.

Wish him (us) luck!
