    Amber - if your son took the WPPSI older than age 4, then it's hard to know if he is 99.5 or 99.9 - WPPSI just doesn't have enough 'hard questions' for gifted kids over the age of 4 to really show where they are at reliably. Some kids do score 150 on the WPPSI, but not all kids who would have scored 99.9 on SB-V will do that on WPPSI. I hope that makes sense.

    Oh, okay. That makes sense. He was tested 10 days before his 4th bday, I think the tester just called him a 4 year old, but I'd have to double check that.

    I can spell, I just can't type on my iPad.

    Metrolina is a lottery, all of the magnets are as well with the exception of the Horizons program.
    When you live in Charlotte you feel that you are applying for college not K. Aplications, testing, waitlists...crazy system for a 5 yo.
