What did your pre-school child score on his Wppsi test?

Anonymous
Two days shy of 5, 99.9 and 143. Not optimistic about acceptances but staying positive.

He is 14 yr-old. He was around 7 years of age when he took it. I took the liberty of rounding up to his birthdate. I do not remember the exact age (6 yrs, ? months & ? days).

PS: His younger brother at the time was about 5 years (rounding here) and scored in the 98 percentile.

Do you want to discuss this with the tester? He did qualify for CTY-SET (Math - 760 and Reading- 640) at the age of 11 years and 9 months. I suppose he should not be taking the SAT at that age too?

I remember thinking that my kid was a genius for scoring in the high 90's percentile wise. I now think that every potential private school applicant around here gets those scores. Am I correct that the percentile is based on the number of people taking the exam? If I am, how can so many people be 99.9%?

Testers will tell you that, even in this area, they do not see the high 99 percentile scores that are posted here so liberally. Our child had a high 99 percentile score and we were shocked. We knew she was bright, but were still blown away. We asked the tester what that really meant. The tester said she rarely sees that high of a score. That scores in the 90-98th percentiles are pretty common around this area, but the 99th (especially high within that percentile) is rare even here. FWIW.

Well, we were not surprised with the 99.9 percentile with our child nor were we impressed. A lot can happen to a 6 year-old before 21. Young parents and first experience usually sends parents way over the top with respect the importance or significance of the score. If your child can walk and chew gum at the same time the score is ....meaningless!

Before anyone gets too excited... there are many testers in this town who give *everyone* a score in the high 90s. Just ask your admissions directors- they see all the scores and see who is giving them.
