WOW! Okay I have never heard that about SB-V scores at all. In fact I was told it is often a better measure for younger gifted kids because of ceiling issues on the WPPSI. Some kids just aren't good with times tests. I never was, I would get nervous and freeze, did this mean I have no number sense...not at all, I actually have pretty good number sense. By the way, I still hate timed tests.

DD is currently working on 3rd grade math through Aleks to keep her challenged but I can tell you she is not a fan of timed anything. In fact, DD is just slow on about everything from getting dressed, setting the table, drawing, you name it, she takes her sweet time. Thats just her.

Also the whole IQ and achievement scores will decrease over time sounds like the old "they all level out argument" And granted most kids will eventually be able to read on an adult level so yes the kids who get their in 12th grade vs the ones who get there at 6, well they all got their, but typically being gifted is more in the way one thinks and perceives in my honest opinion.

Breathe, basically I don't know how you didn't go off on her right then and there! That makes me so angry!!!
