[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm a pretty laid back parent and haven't given the tests that much thought over the years. Kid is clearly doing well. Occasionally I wonder/worry about what happens in later grades, hence my question.

We are in DC area.

As I said I haven't kept track of test results that closely. I can't tell you what different tests, except percentiles have been consistent since child thought themself to read age three. At some point one of the tests offered an IQ equivalent which I recall was in the mid 140s. Don't know how much stock to put in that. Surprised to hear this is commonplace in DC.

Thanks to the pp who mentioned the Neuro psych eval. I'll think about that, but also at this point am not sure further testing is what I want to do. Want kid to just be a kid and not on a path to college by 13 or some whizz kid math nerd. [/quote]

OP, you are jumping the gun. Based on the information you provided your kid is extremely smart and I don't mean to minimize that but the scenarios you describe are a whole other category of smart. An IQ of 140 something and MAP scores that are in the 220s for a 7 year old will not put your child on a path to college at 13 or make him a whiz kid math nerd. I can assure that statistically speaking there should be several kids like your child in almost every decent-sized school in America. Your child's level is not that rare. Look up the math.[/quote]
