[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many kids in that 99%.  The GBRS will be important and if your teacher thinks your child is doing well he will probably get in. However, don't short change yourself.   If you think your child needs to be challenged further by being in a level IV class, fill in the optional parent questionnaire and hand in a few examples of his work.  If you can get a meaningful letter of recommendation, do so.  [b](Remember that parents of a lot of kids with lower scores will get outside IQ tests - for which everyone seems to do well - and will be self referring and appealing.[/b])  There's no cutoff in the numbers - the county states that whoever is found to be eligible will be placed in the program.  This year, however, the word is that the tests were easier and there are many more kids who did well.  (Not sure how much truth there is to this statement.)  I do wonder how the county will find space for many more kids at the centers.  Our center's classes are already quite large.[/quote]

Why is this? Do private psychologists use easier IQ tests or score more generously or ??[/quote]
