[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Child was administered the test in kindergarten last year and scored in 98th percentile.

Same child was recently administered the test again this year and scored in 52nd percentile.

Just trying to process and understand this.  Tests were administered by school (Alexandria City Public).

We haven't done any independent testing, but have considered it.  Child reads about two grades above reading level, shows pretty advanced artistic capabilities, and is generally very intellectually curious.

Thoughts or suggestions?  Trying to reconcile the huge discrepancy in scores on the same test.[/quote]

This does seem like such a huge discrepancy that I'm betting they accidentally skipped questions.  Or misunderstood how the test worked this time.  How did they take the test in Kindergarten?  Was it an officially administered test or one they did at home?  If it was officially administered, then you have that score from Kindergarten to show the huge discrepancy that something might have gone wrong.  They may not agree to retest if he was the only one with a big discrepancy but at least you'll have the official scores from both years to marry with the CogAt results when those come in.  If it was not administered officially in Kindergarten, you may have to wait until the CogAt, see what happens there.[/quote]
