Hi everybody.
I am very new to this forum, and have been reading all the post for past two weeks. This forum is so informative, my thanks to all members.
Anyway my DS4 (almost five), has been tested by a local psychologist with the WPPSI- III, if we would qualify for the gifted program in a public school (so far we have been homeschooling, so I had no comparison to other children). These
are the results:
Verbal subtest: information-19
Vocabulary-15
Word reasoning- 17
Performance: Block design- 19
Matrix reasoning- 17
Picture concepts- 17
Procesing: Symbol search-14
Coding-13
The composite scores: Verbal 143
Performance 148
Processing speed 119
Full 146
After a little period of quiet panic, I did a lot of research.
I see that we are missing the Young scholar cut of by 2 points.
I research the test numbers, and was wondering if DS have hit the test ceiling. I called the psychologist, and she said no, the test ceiling is 160. However, I think that in the 2 subtest he scored 19, and that is the highest number he could get.
So my question is this: has he hit the ceiling? Would these numbers in fact qualify him for Davidson program? Or should we retest? What test to use then ( I understand that the same test cannot be administered again for a certain period of time)? I am very new to all this, and thank you all for any type of guidance.
