[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The HGC test is very time pressured.  If your child wasn't motivated to work very quickly then he could miss a lot of questions just by not answering them.  My second child was very motivated because her sibling had gone to an HGC so she wanted to finish and do well.  She was able to finish each section but many of her very bright friends were unable to finish.  It could be that your child didn't answer a lot of the questions. [/quote]

A lot of kids have gone through the 504 or IEP process and have accommodation for extra time on the tests even in third grade  It's surprising that families are already aware of these issues given so little testing has taken place at that point but it's quite common.  OP, if you do discover any testing difficulty with your DC you may need to pursue the same.[/quote]

Thanks, will definitely look into it if this continues to be a problem.  Or I guess right now, I'm trying to determine if these scores would even indicate a "problem"?[/quote]
