Hi, I'm new to this forum, so bear with me! My daughter recently took the OLSAT in her 2nd grade class as a screening for their gifted program. Her verbal was 144, non-verbal 125? (I don't have it in front of me, sorry) and total (SAI?) 135...

She now must go on to have further individual screening w/ the school district psychologist, and my concerns are:

I knew she might be gifted, but though it might not show up on the OLSAT since she can be very destractable when doing work on her own. If she goes on for further individual testing and does poorly, is this type of individual test more indicative of her abilities, or could it also reflect her destractability on that given day? In other words, if she does poorly during the second round of individual tests, should I just disregard the OLSAT scores? They, especially her verbal, seemed so good.

Thanks for any input,
OliEli's mom
