tortuga - I do not have any knowledge about how the WISC may have been used to predict achievement in your DD's case, but I would look at it as a "bare minimum." Your DD's WISC FSIQ, remember, is still very high, but your DD has shown she may also have high motivation, curiosity, and drive. I would suggest these are also extremely important to achievement, and are not always evident on an IQ test result. Just a few things I have recently run across, that you may find interesting:
Malone - Testing Gifted Hoagies - Why Scores Vary Silverman - Using IQ Tests IQ Change Over Time? You mention she is a hard worker. Combined with that IQ, I would say she has tremendous potential - and I would see the WISC FSIQ as a bare minimum estimate of what she can do when she puts her mind to it!
