We are back from the testing and my tester feels that my son's scores were too high. She did the norms based on age (5 years 1 month) rather than grade since the computer scoring program wouldn't let her put in a grade of Pre-K. She gave him all the subtests but we only got Broad Math and Broad Written Language scores. For some reason it didn't show a broad reading or total achievement score--she thinks one of the subtests isn't normed to his age. She is going to review everything with another tester before she declares the numbers final. At this point I do think we have enough to submit to DYS.
We also learned that even though our son did well score-wise on the written sections he was extremely frustrated, almost to tears at one point. He just doesn't like writing at all. We really haven't asked him to write much so this was a little surprising. It was helpful to know because if we do pursue a skip to grade 1 we might need to take the next 6 months and work on his writing skills.
