Help re a Gloucester appeal

Hi my DS scored just 2 marks below the required threshold for Crypt and we have decided to appeal. Apart from the required predicted SATs, reading age and school reports is there anything else useful to add in? He recently attended a supervised IQ test and scored 140 which is fairly high, would this be helpful to mention? I have gone through the Appeals Q & A and there doesn't seem much else by way of 'evidence of academic ability' that you can say! Any advice/experience gratefully accepted, Kendogirl.

Dear Kendogirl

You've obviously looked at the list of academic evidence in the Q&As, B11.

Good to see you have some non-curricular evidence of ability, but it begs the question: what exactly was the "supervised IQ test"? (i.e. what test was used and who administered it?)

IQ test

Thanks for your reply. Oops I should have clarified in my original query. It was the MENSA supervised IQ test so he had to go to a strange location therefore similar conditions to the 11+. He scored 140 on the Cattell B scale which equates to top 3% of of the population. Kind regards, kendogirl.

That sounds all right then!
