I think he did extremely well on the scat because that is his thing. He is really good at reasoning. I think he was also highly motivated and excited about doing the test becuase I taked about it with him beforehand. I told him there were prizes for doing well. He liked going to the testing center and taking the time off of school.
I suspect he didn't have the motivation when doing the achievement testing. I didn't have any forewarning when the test was going to take place so I didn't talk to him about it. I request the eval in June and they did it in October. He is not really motivated by grades. He will rush through things he is not interested in to get to what he likes. He has told me this. My guess is that he was not interested after doing the IQ test the same day and he wanted to get to lunch/recess, his favorite part of the day.
I think I will use what I have now to try and get his teacher to up the challenge in his work, especially math. In the spring i may have him retested by someone who is familiar with gifted kids.
I do have another question about the WISC. His Comp. score seems off from the rest in that group. Is this odd?
