Our DD8 did not qualify for her school's GT pullout program because of her group administered ITBS achievement results. She did well on the NNAT (99th) and her classroom achievement is very good (high straight A's). However, she is easily distracted in group situations, so we feel that having an individually administered test might more accurately show her achievement level.
The school said they will consider the math and reading results from either the Stanford Achievement Test or TerraNova Achievement (CAT/6 I guess?) test. We have to find and pay for the test administrator.
Does anyone have advice on which test we should pursue?
DD8 is lightning fast with responses to questions (and at reading), but probably to the point where she loses some accuracy. We tell her during testing to slow things down a bit and think through the question and her answer a couple of times, but in her mind I think she still puts lots of emphasis on speed.
Thanks for any suggestions!
