In our state, kids wanting to skip are tested against the end-of-skip-year standards, and you need a 90% to be approved for the skip. DD scored in the low 90s on the end-of-2nd test for both math and reading.

Two weeks later, they did an end-of-3rd test (pretest against end of year standards), and she scored in the mid-60s. Class average was mid-30s (random chance = 25).
