hi eaglemom
after all i've seen with my son who is 2E and been tested a LOT, i would not at all be surprised if the tester stopped when he/she felt like it. We had one tester say to us when my son was three, that she was stopping the test early because she he had enough of it done to get an IQ of 80. She said his services would be cut off if he scored higher. At the time we thought we were grateful, but it meant that we did not know he was highly gifted for four more long years. Then last year his speech therapist at school says "he did so amazing on the comprehension section" of the speech/achievement testing she was doing. She said she ran out of questions and he did >99th percentile. I asked "so what were his scores last year?" and she said "i usually stop the test when the kids hit their grade/age level!".. ugh. i was so disgusted.
