Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Gifted Test from 1987 that list E.A.S. score?

Hello!
Perhaps a long shot, but does anyone happen to know what test a 2nd grader in NJ may have taken around 1986/87 as part of a school assessment that could have been abbreviated E.A.S.? I have searched everywhere but can't figure it out.
What I have is a handwritten IEP/GT recommendation with Math, Reading and Composite SRA scores, and then a separate line that says "Intellectual Ability = 142 (E.A.S)"
I am curious about what sort of test this might have been. Neither my elementary school or HS kept these records.
Thank you!

I cannot think of any instrument that would have been abbreviated EAS. I suspect that was the initials of the person who administered it. Back in the day, when I pulled permanent student records, some districts had assessment record cards that would have lines like that. Usually the name of the instrument, followed by a score ("IQ=102"), and then the initials or first initial and last name of the person who completed the assessment.

In the 1986-1987 school year, a common instrument could have been the Stanford-Binet 4th edition, which had just been released, or the WISC-R, which was about a decade old at the time. It's possible this score was from one of the old versions of the CogAT, although it wouldn't technically have been considered a measure of intellectual ability. That wouldn't stop a district from labelling it that, of course.
