[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for all the replies. DC scored in the average range for IQ (104), but low average for working memory (91) and high-average for GAI (116). All the other scores were average. I feel silly complaining about average scores, but DC has always excelled in school, which makes me wonder about the discrepency. We are also applying to some very competitive schools, and I don’t want DC’s chances to be jeopardized...[/quote]

These are almost identical to my sons scores.  He is very bright, curious, and has an incredible memory.  However, his processing speed is slow.  He is in a private that understands this and he is thriving.  It takes him a bit longer to understand the information, but once he does,  he doesn’t forget it.  On the report, the test administrator said his overall IQ is probably a bit higher than what his score shows because of the processing issues.  We have long suspected he has executive functioning ADD, but he has never been formally diagnosed.  We have found strategies to help him stay on task and for the moment, it’s working.  [/quote]
