I finally read this this whole thread. It has been so helpful to me. I also just read through the Advocacy for Exceptionally Gifted Young People. Feel lucky that I do live in NYC because of the school options.
I understood that you couldn't do a SB again for 12 months, at least for acceptance where required.
Our daughter did some modified version that the gifted prechool at Columbia required. We couldn't do the SB now since she has to do it in October for Kindergarten application in 2009. And I think you have to be 4.
I have also heard, that IQs can change quite a bit through the early years. The Advocacy paper suggests not even testing until post 6 years. Hunter requires retesting after 6th grade because they have found that young children testing as gifted can normalize and others will now test gifted.
Most people write about homeschooling. Does anyone have experience with gifted elementary schools out there?
