HELP!!!!

Lukemac, I am not any sort of expert on DYS application and entry, but from what I understand you really do need only one of VCI, PRI, GAI or FSIQ to be at a qualifying level if you have achievement and/or portfolio to support his achievement, and again one of the required scores should be enough? You have both of those things now.

He does seem to have some highs and lows in both his IQ and achievement tests, are you investigating whether there is anything going on there?

This isn't too much scatter. Proceed with application and let DYS worry not you. Sorry I didn't see this post earlier but don't think....act.

Love and more love

You seem a little nervous and excited and understandably so. �We all just want to talk to somebody who understands, right. �Glad to hear that the test passed the bar for your kid. �Lol @ us all for needing the use of a good guidance counsellor in elementary school and hi-5 for you for getting your application finished.
