aeh,

Many thanks for replying! I am only seeing literal and inference scores under the listening category (he's in 3rd grade, so perhaps that's all they test this year). The literal score was something like 56. I suppose we are a little more concerned, or at least wondering about it, since there are definitely times when he doesn't seem to be listening at home or school. From your reply, it sounds as though this tests something closer to recall or repeating details?

This kid has an amazing detailed memory (one of those who can tell us where we watched a given show, what we were wearing, etc, three years ago). Maybe he was just zoning out.
