Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment NUMATS test reports yet?

Good info, Dottie. I was unsure why certain scores from last year didn't move much, but maybe DD hit the "ceiling" on those. I still wonder about the science test, because that continues to be the "weakest" for DD. She is in her grade level (with one skip) in science and she found herself running out of time and unfamiliar with the material. I don't know if this is a weak area for our school or just a matter of critical thinking on her part. Any thoughts how to make this area stronger esp. when we move to the ACT/SATs.

I still haven't gotten a packet...but I got a postcard. It said I scored in the top 3 on a section of the ACT. Anybody else get one? I'm supper happy!

My big brag since I got the NUMATS scores for 3/4/5/6th graders package last Thursday:

DD 10 (4th grade) scored a 25 on the English and 25 on the Reading. There were only 7 students to hit 25 for 4th graders in English and only 1 to hit 25 for Reading!!! It must be her!!

Yay! I know you are so proud! What a smart girl.

We had been waiting for the statistical summary and the planner but they have arrived at last. I think the planner will be quite helpful.

While my DS didn't make the Numats awards, he was close! He was in the top 3% of 4th graders but he won't be 10 until late September.

I guess the next step is to do some further testing and take a shot at DYS. My head is still spinning a bit about the whole conecpt and how to proceed!
