Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Qualify for Young Scholars

Hi

I was wondering if these score would qualify for this program. I can never figure out which number people are looking for. Thank you all!


DS age 7 (test given last fall)
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-IV (WISC-IV)
Verbal Comprehension.........144 99.8%
Perceptual Reasoning .........133 99%
Working Memory ................123 94%
Processing Speed ...............109 73%

Full Scale ..........................137 99%
Global Ability Index .(GAI)..147 99.9%


DD age 10 4th grade (test given this month)
Verbal Comprehension Index 151 >99.9%
Perceptual Reasoning Index 141 99.7%
Working Memory Index 110 75%
Processing Speed 126 96%
Full Scale IQ 144 99.8%

Global Ability Index 156 >99.9

Have either of your children had Achievement testing? DYS usually requires achievement scores to go along with IQ.

Well, don't know which are achievement but:


DS took in the fall:
KTEA
Letter and Word Recognition 142 99.7%
Reading Comp. 138 99
Math Concepts and App. 124 95
Math Computation 132 98


DD took the ACT Explore
Compiste: 22
25 English (100th percentile)
25 Reading (100th percentile)
Science (96th percentile)
Math (75th percentile)

That's ok. I was just curious. Thank you!

Isn't that the reading composite score above,138?

Reading Comp may be for comprehension vs composite. No expert here but did a quick google on the KTEA.....copied from a blurb abotu KTEA....

Scoring: The Comprehensive Form subtests include: Mathematics/Applications (60 items), Reading/Decoding (60 items), Spelling (50 items), Reading/Comprehension (50 items), and Mathematics/Computation (60 items). Raw scores can be converted to age and grade norms.

ok I just emailed the school psychologist who gave him the test and asked him.

I received this note this morning:

"Yes, the reading composite score on the KTEA-II is exactly 145. Best wishes."

Is this what you're looking for?

Thank you. I will apply for my daughter.
