    Those are definitely awesome scores and call for skipping K.

    Looking at my "big" sample of 2 kids tested at similar age, I agree. A huge majority of their 3rd and 4th grade scores produced 99.9% with the oral language section being a huge exception.

    the GE's range from 1.7 to 3.6. the 1.7 was math fluency. then the rest of the scores go to 2.1-3.6.
    The scoring was Version 3.0, so maybe that is different then the older software? or maybe he is not as smart as I thought!! haha.

    Yes Dottie, it says Normative Update, does that mean much? Later on this evening I will post the "out of level" report.... It is pretty interesting.

    Hey again! I will call the psych with this question, but though t maybe one of you could help me.... How is his broad math score higher then his broad reading score given the subtest scores?? In looking, I would think it would be the other way around??

    Thanks Dottie! You're such a great source of info, and I am thankful. Still, I find it so bizarre that all score in the reading domain appear higher then the broad score, but really, it doesn't matter all that much (except in the case of DYS!!)..
