[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The letter came home today saying my 2nd grade child met the criteria for gifted and talented and that she is reading two grades levels above. But her "InView" percentiles are really low. The target score for 2nd graders is 80th percentile. My DD got 67, 46, 79, 99 and 55. How did she get a 99 in verbal reasoning context and a 55 in verbal reasoning words? What the heck is going on? Have other parents found weird disparities like this? And more importantly, does it matter?[/quote] Also, they are not "really low" - 99 is about 99% of her cohort nationally - and above 80% is usually the cut-off for a gifted determination. As for why the lower grades - she either may not have the aptitude, or she's never been exposed to questions like the ones tested and doesn't know what to do with them, or she was tired or distracted that day, and just filled in bubbles. Who knows? [/quote]
