My son was identified for Gifted testing based on his Olsat score which was 97%. Met one of the schools requirements with the Gates MacGinitie score 97%. Just took the Sages Reasoning Subtest and scored a 92% with the cut off for the gifted program being 73%. Does anyone know how these scores would compare to IQ and why is the cutoff for the gifted program so low on the Sages? We just have the WISC IV left. I am nervous because my son has dysgraphia. Anyone care to share their childs scores on these tests and what they mean?
Thanks,
One confused mom

Hi
Roxieb73
Sorry I missed your post!
I can't blame you for being confused...I'm not familiar with most of these tests, and from the lack of response, I'll bet that few here are familiar as well.
Good Luck on the WISC IV. Will they use a GAI score to qualify him if the dysgraphia interferes with the less 'g'loaded tests?
Who diagnosed the dysgraphia? Can you call then and ask them to advise the school on how to interpret the WISC appropriately?
please post with your next set of questions,ok?

In our area, SAGES was a screening test where if you scored well enough, you then went on to take an individual IQ test. That might explain it.

Welcome to the forum Roxie!
I'm not familiar with the Sages Reasoning test, so can't help you there. Re the WISC, my ds12 has dysgraphia and has taken the WISC twice. Dysgraphia will most likely impact scores on the Processing Speed subtests, and as Grinity mentioned, you'll want to have the school calculate and use the GAI (Global Ability Index) rather than Full Scale IQ (FSIQ).
Best wishes,

A psychologist at the local Children's Hospital diagnosed the Dysgraphia. The school is aware and have promised me that they would use GAI if his processing scores were low. I made sure from the start because I didn't want him set up to fail. Hi

Wow! Impressive that you and the school both know what the GAI was! Awesome.
