It's a computerized test so each student's computer can be set up to give a certain subtests. I wouldn't think that guessing would not inflate the scores because the test goes up and down in difficulty trying to determine the correct RIT/level. I saw the same type of problem come up 5 times on my daughter's math test last year. It seemed obvious that the program thought my daughter should know that kind of problem based on how she answered the other questions so it kept checking.

Her scores are amazing! I have a set of charts that give the norm median scores of each grade level and gifted grade level.

Here's where her scores fall:

Reading:
5th grade median = 212
6th grade median = 217
2nd grade gifted = 209
3rd grade gifted = 218

Language Usage:
7th grade median = 220
3rd grade gifted = 220

Math:
5th grade median = 219
2nd grade gifted = 209
3rd grade gifted = 221
