I'm waiting on testing until closer to school since I can't imagine my DS2.5 being even remotely compliant now. smile I just finished Deborah Ruf's 5 Levels of Giftedness and found it helpful, especially for ideas about what types of things I should notice/write down (sort of like starting a portfolio as polarbear suggested). You are not alone in feeling overwhelmed. If you do test, I'd love to hear how it went.
