Yikes, I'm sorry about that lack of clarity - I am soooo not an English grammar geek lol! I meant "in the world", not on this forum! polarbear Last edited by polarbear; 11/11/12 10:39 AM.

Among my family, there's a very large range--about 50 points. Except for my younger brother, we were all mg-pg, but our achievement was always very different. Scores can be off, though, especially with an inexperienced tester or a tired child.
