I did want to say that my last comment wasn't directed at you. I'm not thinking that you're trying to hothouse an inaccurate score. I just always get skeptical when districts claim that something like 20% of their kids are near gifted or gifted. If your child doesn't fit in with the regular kids, I suspect that she is more than the level of gifted they are claiming so many kids are (120-125 IQ) or b/c people are studying to get artifically high scores and thus making it such that kids whose scores are there w/out the studying aren't getting the fit they deserve in classrooms that are supposed to be full of other kids like them.
