Our oldest daughter, 9.3, currently enrolled in 4th grade, was recently given the WASI to see if she qualified for the Missouri PEGS program. She received a FSP of 99.9, and a FSIQ of 148. Her current school uses the NWEA MAP, and she scored over 230 on both areas.
We moved on to the next stage, the SBV, today. We are waiting for test results, but the tester did say that she was losing attention during the last section, the Working Memory portion. I've read that it is recommended that the Working Memory section not be included in the overall score when it is used to evaluate for selection into Highly Gifted Programs, but now I'm concerned that this could keep her from the program.
