I called The Davidson Institute and they told me that they'd be able to just use what they had. I can't believe that the school board won't give me the scores but they are very difficult to work with!

Good Jamie!

I am now officially nervous... almost 3 weeks... I hope I am not getting more people nervous since I would have obviously NOT gotten any results yet.

BTW, do you all plan on using this thread to share when you got results, or shall we open a new one?

I think we can just continue here, when the time comes....
I am also "officially" nervous. My hubby stated yesterday so calmly: when it comes, it comes. Nothing you can do about it, so don't think about it.
Sometimes I wish I would have my DH's brain, it would be much easier.LOL

Or maybe we can open a new thread, I think that would be better.
Sorry, my brain is not working yet.

I didn't see this earlier... aren't they required by law (FERPA) to allow you view your DS' school records? Is this a public school?

I'm glad Davidson can work with the percentiles.

I'm surprised too. Be sure to mention FERPA when you make the request.
