    Hi, I am new here. We live in Chicago.

    Our DS7 have been tested before applying for a talent search program in Chicago. He got 99.9% for both reading and math (KTEA -II) and 98% for verbal, 99.8% non verbal and 99.7% IQ composite from KBIT -2.

    We have a full report from above.

    Not sure if testing results like that will be accepted or not. Should we take him to a formal IQ testing? I can certainly make a portfolio for him. Just wanted to get some suggestions from this wonderful group!

    Thanks,

    Grace

    Grace..
    Welcome. I am in the Chicago area too. I am not an expert here so no advice other than if you do get him tested .. The Quest Academy (Palatine) will test with full reports inexpensively. You do not need to be enrolling there to test with them.

    Applying costs nothing. What do you have to lose?

    The tester did show me his score right after testing , but we left in a hurry and I did not even remember the score. In the final report, there is only percentage.

    I am thinking of calling them again to ask for the actual score.
