[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]

If it's any consolation, my DC was tested with an IQ of about 110 at age 6. At the time I was a little stung and surprised, because I'd thought it would have been higher. He had a test a few years ago, as a tween, and his IQ tested in the 140s.

My takeaway is that IQ isn't stable through childhood, and that if you think your child is bright, you're probably right. 
My son has somewhat slow processing but for some reason that's less of an issue now than it was then or anyway didn't impact the scores the same way. We haven't done anything special for the slow processing or gotten him accommodations.
