My DD 6 tood the Gates-MacGinitie reading test and scored 99th percentile over all. She had 39 out of 39 right for comprehension (grade equivalent 6.2 or so) and one wrong on word decoding (42 out of 43) and that was given a percentile of 94th and 8th stanine--yes, for one wrong. This doesn't seem right. We have been fighting hard to get ANY enrichment at all and so will take every point we can get. Can someone who understands tests better than I do explain how one wrong is 94th and 8th stanine. Thanks!
