So, our district ONLY uses an IQ test for identifying gifted kids, and it is quite competitive (at least a score of the 99th percentile) to get in, so they want to be quite sure a child will score that high before they will test.
My daughter has just completed kindergarten and we got her MAP scores today. (I actually had no idea they even did this testing in kindergarten!) She scored a 198 in reading (99-99 percentile) and a 186 in Math (98-99 percentile).
Are these scores indicative of a child who is likely gifted? Or probable? Or it could go either way? I guess I am just curious if they might test her next year -- while in 1st grade.
She is also young for her grade -- late July birthday, so she is not yet 6. Maybe that does or does not play into measuring hoe precocious she might be?
Any thoughts? Thanks sooo much!!
