Hey guys -- this is me, KansasMom -- the original poster. I created a new user name when I thought that's why my threads weren't working -- sorry for the confusion. Thanks so much for all of this information -- it is invaluable!! I appreciate the encouragement for testing. I am not really open to a grade skip considering she is already the youngest in the class, and as it is our schools are quite good. I imagine they are teaching about a grade level above already, which is why the standards for gifted education are so high. I am glad to know you think that 140 could be a possibility. I am thinking I will let the school year get into full swing, and see what they have planned for her as far as enrichment goes, and then maybe ask for testing in a few months? I know they will do MAPs again in Sept. And maybe they will move forward with testing on their own?
I am going to start filling out the survey for the school -- I am so curious what types of things they are asking about!
Oh, and yes, I pulled out the paperwork and apparently it is the WISC-IV. So what is the obsession with age 8 if it really makes no difference? And can I trust the school psychologist to be a strong and reliable tester??
