The school never told me the name of the screening test administered to my twins when they were kindergarteners, but is was something like the OLSAT or CoGAT.
FWIW, my HG DS did not "pass" the screening. His scores on the visual-spatial side were below average, thus causing his total score to fall below the percentage usually required before the school will administer the WISC. However, they tested him anyway, as his verbal scores were extremely high, and he is one of those kids that is obviously "different."
His WISC score was very different than one might have expected given his screening test results. The psych mentioned that she had no idea what might have happened during the screening test for his scores to be so low. So yes, it is possible for the test results to be wrong.
Does the OLSAT have subtests? It might be possible that she scored really badly in one section, pulling down her overall score.
