Thanks Chris. I asked my son about the IQ test taken at his school...it took 'a couple hours' and was done in one day. From my understanding, test results are the determining factor as to whether or not he makes it into GT. I feel completely unknowledgeable about all of this as I just try to 'go with the flow' and provide my kids with whatever they need to succeed in school. I tend not to make special requests (specific teacher, etc). So, I'm just learning about this. We are just thinking if it would be best for him to be with same-aged peers, which means he would have to repeat the 5th grade, we should do it now. I just see him struggling later in life with sports and puberty/social issues, which are our main concerns. Thanks again. I appreciate feedback!
