Our DYS DD did obtain a composite score of 150 on the CogAt, however, I've heard many, many stories of HG(+) children scoring lower than their official IQ score on that test.

It's too bad that schools rely so heavily on it for inclusion to GT services as it really is meant to be a screener. Unfortunately, it's really cheap to administer for a large number of students..................

It's kind of like a Dr. saying....well I think this cyst looks malignant, even though the biopsy that came back from the lab says it isn't...........((shrugging shoulders))

Defininately bring the WISC scores in. A WISC trumps a CogAt, IMO, I'd be nervous about someone who'd lead you to believe otherwise.
