First time poster! Hi!
DD8 in 3rd grade took Olsat in Kindergarten and scored very well:
Total: 150
Verbal: 145
NVerbal: 145
This qualified her for our district's g/t program and they also administered the SAGES-2 with her in Kinder as well.
In first grade she took the Olsat again, this time in a larger group setting and unbeknownst to us, she was sick with a fever at the time and her scores were:
Total: 121
Verbal: 119
NVerbal: 116
Now the rational side of me knows that everything from setting, proctor and illness could have effected her scores . . . but the mom in me is concerned. Obviously the drop is so significant that she wouldn't have qualified for the g/t program in our district with those scores. Could I get y'alls thoughts and opinions.
I'm glad there's a board online of people who care about g/t parents and their child! Thanks.
