Hi JaneSmith - I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me will be able to provide more insight, but I don't think the AE scores on modern tests are in any way comparable to ratio IQs. Certainly my daughter's AE scores on her SB5 don't correlate in that way (though as I understand it the SB5 AE scores can be unreliable anyway). I might well be wrong though!
I agree that there are so many factors contributing to actually grade skipping - I am wondering though Kai, whether that is what you were asking or if you were wondering if there is a correlation between IQ and the ability to understand work a given number of grades ahead of chronological peers (as opposed to whether it is actually suitable to grade skip them or any accommodations that might be needed to help them actually do the work)? In which case I have no idea - but wanted to check I understood the question. I guess there might be if there were a standardised curriculum (though if a child was not globally gifted then obviously different grade levels would apply depending to their different levels of ability).
