Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment WISC IV GAI vs FSIQ.. discrepancies with PSI?

Hi and congrats on your scores. I am not understanding your concern. Your WISC IV score is at 99.99 percentile, isn't it (at least one test or score)? Plus you have a nice Woodcock at 99, which supports the WISC. That, plus solid portfolio is not a guarantee but certainly meets the requirements. No?

Madeinuk- both the PRI and VCI and GAI qualify...did you have achievement scores that qualified as well? If so then I don't see why she wouldn't be accepted. If you didn't have achievement, I bet you will just hear that they need more info.

My DD had similar scores- PRI- 153, VCI- 148, PSI-112 WM-110 so her FSIQ was brought way down to 144, but GAI was 160. Her application went in for May review. Good luck.

MIUK, did you apply with two sets of scores? Or those smoking IQ scores and a port? Seems like most portfolio apps result in a request for more info, often with eventual acceptance. Got my fingers crossed for you!

It turned out that although we submitted everything by 3/28 the DDs application did not make it into the April selection pile. Another nail biting month ahead...

Ack! You poor thing!
