DS3 shows some signs of giftedness (e.g. doing 60-piece by 2, knows over 200+ sign words, masters the K curriculum, etc.)
Because of the local school cutoff, we decide to have him tested at a local university.
Here are some of his scores:
• His FSIQ using WPSII-III is 94 with highest score in object assembly (135).
• His verbal IQ using SB-5 is 83 with highest score in quantitative reasoning (125).
• His Bracken School Readiness Assessment (BSRA) is 125 (equivalent of a 5 year old).
The tester mentioned some of his answers did not count because he failed to prove detailed answers and/or he was disinterested.
From these scores, it’s clear that he is in the low range of average.
On the other hand, his 4yo preschool teacher said he is very smart (whatever that means). He is also being a class clown or causing mischief at school, which is his usual behavior when he is bored.
I don’t want to be “that” mom; on the other hand, I know DS ability is above “low range of average.” With that type of score, any kinds of early K would be unlikely.
Any advices for this confusing mom?
Thanks
