    Really? Things have changed then, because I grew up in France and was tested, twice, prior to each one of my grade skips. And on the day I was getting my second IQ test at 9 one of my classmate was being similarly evaluated, albeit for opposite reasons. In both cases the tester was sent to the school by l'inpection academique.

    Still. The school psychologist should really have the manuals and be able to compute the scores for you. And if you paid for private evaluation, call your tester back and ask for the specifics.

    One thing I wanted to add: your psych is perfectly right that the FSIQ is meaningless with a 40 point spread between VCI and PSI. A GAI could be calculated (and probably not fall too far away from the 139 you got from the US tables), but that's not what the school is asking for, is it?
