Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment School IQ Test - Is this typical?

I agree with the above. Standardizing a test is not an easy thing to do. I've never heard of a school district standardizing an IQ test. By the time they finished standardizing the test using US census statistics, establishing reliability, developing norms, etc., the test likely would have been nearly outdated! If you feel strongly that your child should be eligible for the program, I would considering asking for a WISC, KABC, Stanford Binet, or other well established standardized intelligence test. Good luck!
