Thanks for your input. He hasn't been given any other test. He answered all the questions on Verbal, and didn't answer 5 on nonverbal. There are only 65 Verbal questions total, 60 Quantitative and 65 Non-Verbal. So if a child only misses one question the score drops considerably. When he is given math tests that are timed,he gets 100% every time and in the time he would have been tested at the end of the school year. I talked to the GT teacher, she said he just didn't answer the last questions on the test. Even if he never gets into an advanced class, I really enjoy seeing how his mind works. He is addicted to any tv show that has engineering or science themes. IE, How it's made, Time Warp, Modern Marvels or Myth Busters. He always seems to come up with creative ways to solve problems and seems to understand concepts way beyond his years. He loves to play chess and my husband is starting to be afraid playing him anymore. I found out from one of the other parents that in Texas they only go by the CogAT test and teacher recommendations. Both his teacher from last year and this have stated they want to formally protest his non-admission. For all that would do. Thanks for the ear. Any suggestions on ways I can keep him interested in a public school setting without the GT label?
