Hi, everyone -
My daughter did a screening test for a local summer enrichment program (CTD at Northwestern, for those familiar.) She took this screening test the day after she turned four, which was the minimum age they needed to screen.
When my son did this same screening, he got precentiles on both the KTEA-II and the KBIT. But he was 4 1/2 when he did it. For my daughter, they gave grade equivalents for the KTEA-II instead of percentiles because (according to the printed results) grade equivalency is used for students 4 years 0 months to 4 years 5 months (something like that).
I'm not very familiar with this type of test result, although I can pretty much figure out what they mean. In reading she was about 2.9 and math was about 1.5. I assume that means she reads like an average 2.9th grader, and does math like an average 1.5 grader?
Her KBITs were at 99th percentile. Can anyone tell me if this looks like her KTEA is likely 99th percentile as well?
Is the KTEA grade equivalents the sort of test that can help us determine if (further down the line) she would benefit from grade skipping? She qualified for the program, which was really the only purpose for the screening, but of course I want to better understand what the scores really mean.
Thanks for any insights!
