I am a big advocate for finding the right tester. My kiddo did not make the gifted program until we found the right tester and the right test. Then she scored into the HG program. I thought ahhh I paid them so they gave me what I was looking for. I also told them that. They suggested she take the SAT. I did not know you could do that. Well her SAT scores supported the higher scores... Also the SAT scores spoke much louder than the IQ scores to many of the teachers. It was a long process for me. Trust yourself...you do know your kid.
