DS has been WISC-V tested by the school psychologist twice. First at age 7 (first grade), at our request, then again at age 9, after his third grade teacher referred him for the gifted program. He failed to qualify both times.
DS is now in 4th grade. One of the first comments his teachers made to us at our parent-teacher conference in the fall was "Have you considered having him tested for gifted?" Having been down this road twice already, I don't expect different results the third time. However, DS has expressed an interest in the gifted program at school, primarily because his two best friends are involved, and he is intrigued by the things they talk about.
Do we allow him to test again? Is there any reason NOT to allow him to test again, since he is asking for it? Our school will test annually, at the parents' request, but what is the likelihood that the results will vary? He would need 130+ on any index or FSIQ to qualify for the 1x/week pull-out program.
