Whomever mentioned rich environment: I get and agree completely w your point. She has definitely had that.

Thank you all so much for your insightful comments.I will be sure and let everyone how testing goes.

FWIW, of those pieces the ones that I could see being the most influenced by enriched environment would be vocab, info, and possibly word reasoning, but less than the other two tests in the verbal realm. The three ones on which she had those really high scores really shouldn't be highly influenced by environment unless you were doing something like playing games with tantrix blocks or mosaics a lot.

I can't say that my kids haven't have enriched environments either, honestly. I mentioned that earlier not to indicate that you've hothoused in artificially high scores, just to explain how the scores can be artificially high when they do turn out to be legitimately lower later.

Good luck with the eval.
