Hi Aisha,
My son took the Scat in third grade. But he didn't mention the any examples of words, so I don't have a feel for it. All I can say is - stick around, as the test may be much shorter than the allotted time.

As talent search or "above level" tests, then are intended to test "aptitude," that is, a child's ability based on not having been taught the material. There's not much information to glean from the test if the material has already been studied, which is why they test by grade level, rather than by age. The above level tests are useful as a cheap way to compare a whole group of high achieving students and see which ones are have a "readiness level" that is beyond what is expected for that grade level.

What on your mind?
