So we did the screening and the consultation and, somewhat disconcertingly, DS score is supposed to be one of the highest this year, with a FSIQ of 138.
I say disconcertingly because not only did he complain about the noise from recess but also from a stomachache he said he'd had all morning - I thought it was just nerves but it only got worse and was so bad the next morning he couldn't go to school! (There's this odd stomach bug going around that only does aches and nothing else, but comes and goes, his siblings and friends have all had it so. It's legit - he did enjoy the testing and complained he really wanted to go back to school the following day!)
He ceilinged on the verbal part that came first at 145, did still well on the quantitative part at 132 and then you can see the raw scores going down in the marking sheet as recess started, with nonverbal bottoming at 120....nice to know he can still hack it even so but I told them it was really unfair for borderline kids and they needed to change testing conditions.
Oh, and this test apparently not only uses outdated norms but is also grade normed - and DS is accelerated LOL!
Interview with parents and kid on Monday. The class may still not fill up and be cancelled.
DH said: "yeah, it's all well and good, but they're still out there in the boonies!"
