[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would start by asking the teacher if there is a more robust score report available. The test for HGC is VERY time pressured. I am overgeneralizing a bit, but they had about 30 seconds per question. Fast processing speed is important in such a test, and it's not something in everyone's profile. [/quote] +1 Bombed the verbal part of the test, did well in quant and nonverbal. My DC was tested by the psychologist and had an IQ score of 130 (right on the line). I believe the range was plus/minus 5 pts (I can't remember if it was reported as a range of 5 or 10 pts). My DC also had a low processing speed and working memory score. I think my kid is smart, not a genius, and will do okay in life without the label. [/quote]
