DS was screened for admittance to a pre-K program at a Catholic school today. (Insert long story about why this may be our only logical choice even though we aren't at all convinced it's the right one, but just trust me for now...we're working on it and this is our "safety," as it were.) The person who screened him sort of showed me the results, which were definitely at the high end of the scale, but I didn't see the name of the screener. The items he missed (there were only 3 he missed) were that he was unable to tie a knot in a string (duh), unable to complete some kind of jumping task where he had to jump feet together-apart-together-apart or something, and did not correctly identify the missing item (a door) in a picture of a house (this is kind of interesting, since his sister did not do well on the picture completion subtest of her IQ test).
I'm just curious what the test might be, if anyone knows. I suspect it might be a kindergarten screener. He clearly passed with flying colors, whatever it was. (Insert another rant here--if it is a K screener, why is the preschool using a K screener? I know.) It was clearly a standardized screener. Took him about 20 minutes, I'd say. Green print, looked like about 4 pages.
