I'm please I'm not the only one (and oops sorry, I should have searched first.)
Dazed and Confused - thanks for the explanation
Eema, I'm with you. The other thing I find confusing is that Hoagies lists HG as 138 - 145 on the WISC IV yet Deborah Klein's book talks about HG as 145+
Thanks CAMom - extended scoring is not something I've ever really been able to get my mind around either - my boy apparently hit the ceiling on 3 of his sub-tests (18/18/19 but I would've thought the tester, who was experienced with G&T kids would have suggested applying the extended scoring if she felt it was warranted. (I also realise that there are 'certain' subtests you need to ceiling on for it too be applied.)
I'm interested to know because my boy is classically underachieving and is going through a distinctly 'ungifted' phase. He is 7 and has been through a lot this year, both at school and personally and I am just trying to find the right way to re-motivate him without applying pressure (which he hates) and at the same time know what I am dealing with.
Thanks again
