My daughter has taken both the OLSAT and the NNAT. Her scores were quite different; different enough that I was left with more questions than answers. She scored a 130 nonverbal, 117 verbal on the OLSAT. It was administered in a group setting. Our district requires a 132 in one section of the test to qualify for services. Her OLSAT score really didn't jive with my observations and her teacher's observations of her. We decided to have her take the NNAT before turning to private testing. This was administered to her in a small room by the school enrichment teacher with one other child who was also taking the same test. She scored a 149 on this test that has a ceiling of 150. I'm sure some children perform similiarly on these two tests but that was not our experience.
Our school district accepts GT identification from other school districts. Retesting is not done on previously identified children when they move here.
