Dottie, you hit the nail on the head. So many of us parents focus on an initial number but as always, time tells all. Extrapolated data over time is the best means to determine both IQ and ability. After several years of testing, by the fourth grade one should have a true picture, as long as the data is clean - in other words, testing should always be administered under standard conditions, by well trained staff/professionals, with the child understanding what he or she is about to do, not being hungry or thirsty and after a good nights rest.
