Hi everyone,
I am a new poster to the board though I have been reading the board for a couple of years. Everyone has such great insight!
I am just curious if anyone else's child scored in the gifted range on the WISC but did not do that well on the SCAT?
My 8 year old son recently completed second grade and his teacher recommended the CTY online program so we had him take the SCAT to see if he qualified. He scored in the 45% for verbal and 59% for quantitative. So he did not qualify in either area.
His FSIQ on the WISC IV when he took it was 141.
The CTY program looked a little pricey for us so not sure if we would have actually participated, but I found the difference in scores a little perplexing.
I have to say I was very proud him for how he did as it was a little bit intimidating for him taking a test with all adults around :-)
But I am curious as to the difference between the two tests..I would think most gifted children would get qualifying scores on the SCAT? I am just wondering if this has been anyone else's experience.
Thanks!
