[quote=Anonymous]My 12 year old was tested by mcps and his iq came in about twelve points lower than it did three years prior on private testing. His iq was low average before so now it is borderline. More troubling is his fluid reasoning score dropped about 21 points. He finished the test super quickly and I’m sure he didn’t do his “best” because he wanted to be done. But I’m not sure how to deal with this now. It’s not a standard deviation difference but because of where his iq falls it takes him from on the cusp of average to the cusp of ID. It worries me re his placement.

He’s coming from a special needs private and I’m sure his educational testing isn’t great either. The thing is he doesn’t present ID at all. He plays sports, does typical camps, can function okay socially. He has deficits for sure. But I don’t think at this level.

How should I proceed? The school psych was confident and felt it reflected his abilities. I don’t think so, and it also doesn’t jive with our prior testing. Prior testing showed a scattered profile. This does not. But the FSIQ difference is just 12 points. What do people think? is this a big enough discrepancy to even worry about? And how meaningful is it?[/quote]
