Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment group testing compared to individual testing

I am wondering how other children have done in group tests at a public school. My DD is in first grade and is having group testing this week and next (and some of these results may qualify her for gifted programming). She had outside testing (IQ and achievement) that was one on one. She scored high on those, but the school does not consider outside testing and wants to "see for themselves" which means they place great emphasis on these group tests and I worry she won't do as well in that setting and then not get needed services. She is not a little bit ahead, she is working well beyond grade level. How have your kids done in group tests compared to one on one?
