We do have test scores from last year in the 99th percentile, but they were from 4th grade b/c she skipped 5th grade to go into 6th this year. For qualification to take tests in 7th grade, they would like scores from 5th grade or later even though 4th grade is, technically, not more than two years old.
We could go the route of GT teacher recommendation, but I hate to make her do more than necessary if we can just use test scores. I can also wait for her NCLB tests if they come in at advanced. I'm just lining up all of our ducks if possible now. If I have to wait for the fall for NCLB tests or teacher recommendation, I will though.
eta: as far as I know, DU's CITY program will not take IQ tests. I did just go recheck their website and it says: "...standardized academic achievement test scores at 90% or above based upon national norms. This can be a composite score or a score in a major subject area (i.e. math, verbal, reading)." I guess that they've lowered their requirements.
Is the Lexile not a nationally normed reading achievement test?
