Flower, thank you. It never occurred to me that anything below 145 would be accepted, but I guess it never hurts to ask. His VCI sub-test scores were Similarities 16; Vocab 19 and Comprehension 17. I have heard the term "hitting ceilings" before on this board, but I'm not sure of what that means. Does this info help?

Also, when you say he was "old" for taking the test, was that the WISC, the EXPLORE, or both? I thought the WISC goes to age 16 and he was 10 years, 6 mos when WISC was taken. For the EXPLORE, his elementary school sent home registration info right after the annual deadline, so DS was registered for that darn test for nearly 1.5 years before he actually took it! So he was at the end of the age range for EXPLORE.

DS does go up a year in math, so he is in 7th grade math and does very well with it.
