Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment ITBS

Funny you mention that. I saw a post somewhere which mentioned CAT5 and it appeared that it tested in even more categories. Should we just all get together and have a testing day(s), hire a professional to administer the test and go out for coffee?

I"m not sure why I went w/ the ITBS. I think b/c a friend's school used it and it's a national normed test. I didn't know about the CAT. I think I read that the ITBS is more difficult than the CAT/5.

I had a friend who used the ITBS, so I have, too. Very lazy of me, I know! It was just easy to take her advice and not have to think about it all.

Next year I plan to use one of the talent search tests instead. If we do it early enough, I could give him the ITBS, too, if he doesn't score well enough for the talent search test to count with the district.

I am all for a testing and coffee day, Questions! Yes, please!
