Ashley, I'd try not to worry too much over what # is the cutoff for MG/HG/etc and instead just pay close attention to your child. I'd also keep in mind that one # from one test may be representative of a child's true IQ, or it could be just one # your child received from testing on one day at one moment in time - my 2e dd has *hugely* inconsistent testing results depending on.. all sorts of things ranging from her 2nd e to the fact that she likes to race like the wind when testing, especially if it's something she's not interested in and she thinks there might be a smoothie waiting for her when she's done.

Then there is my DD who pondered each and every possible answer choice--I think it was bordering on ridiculous! The pscyh wrote in the report it took an hour longer to test her than most other kids. No wonder she left half the timed CogAT blank! Analysis Paralysis!
