Really? I guess I should have been able to figure that out on my own, since the IQ cutoff they use is so low (1 SD out, or 115, IIRC) that I felt confident ignoring IQ considerations entirely.
Really -- it's that low?! I know that there's a new version out since dd12's school used it for her, but I thought that the version they used required a minimum IQ of 130 (2 SDs) for consideration unless the child had just missed the K cut-off and was one of the very oldest in grade. In the later situation, I thought that 115 was allowable. Did they change that with the newer version? I know that the newer version now allows usage of a composite CogAT score rather than IQ as well, which I have mixed feelings about.
