[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The tester should be able to provide some insight on the testing. Listen to the feedback and don’t become defensive. 
Look at the testers credentials - how long has the tester provided the tests and been interpreting the results? What is the testers personality like? Do you think he/she would connected with your child? There is no law against a retest and their is no database so if you feel it’s realky off get a second test done. In terms of admissions, you can’t submit more than one test per calendar year.

[b]There are lots of kids in the early years that appear off the charts brilliant. That’s bc btw preK and most of 2nd the kids are doing work that have already mastered. It’s easy to excel at what you already know how to do. Then end of 2nd and 3rd is where they have to start doing something besides spit out facts and known answers and this is where lots of the issues come out. [/b][/quote]

Every word of this. There is science on this, but the short version is that THIS is why most systems don't even test for GT programs until 3rd grade or higher. Before that time, a lot of kids who look "really bright" are just well prepared. [/quote]
