As others have said, an experienced tester can make a material difference - did you witness the test? Did your child appear engaged? We were very lucky in that we had our DD tested when she was almost 8 by an extremely experienced and engaging tester.
The unfortunate truth appears to be (from reading many tales of woe here) that many school districts see 'Giftedness' as a PIA and appear to do their level best to discourage it.
I would not be at all surprised if a test administered by an independent and experienced tester yielded a very different result.
