Cricket, you are correct. That is what my book says too (we just used it last year.) The IAS has no specific cutoff, since it's not a test, it uses a base line score for discussion. The 115 came in when considering a child for early entrance to K, who needs to be 5 by Sept. but this child is shy of that. The normally considered IQ scores can be looked at as low as 115 in cases such as this. The good thing with the IAS is that even if the IQ score is slightly lower than most GT program cutoffs (though if you are looking at a skip, it's usually NOT lower) but there are so many other factors that are taken into account in the IAS that you get a better picture of a child who is/isn't ready.
