Who did the testing on your child and did they give their opinion on whether he is gifted?
I do have experience with some of the achievement tests for those ages. The tester told me that a 160 score does not translate to that number in IQ and the test is not meant to be an IQ test. Like Portia mentioned, that score can be obtained by having gone over that material before at home or at school.
The variation of scores on the IQ test may mean something to look out for, and I hope you are able to ask the person who administered the test.
Do you have a minimum IQ for the school programs? Lots of the time it is 130, but sometimes it is lower, or you can submit work samples or other information for them to consider. Good luck!
