Ok, scratch all that! I realized after I wrote, I didn't really even check mail yesterday - ta da!
Well, the scores could have been better, but I am pretty pleased with results.
They are really in line with what ds did on testing last year with the k-bit, so no big surprises there:
He is in 3rd grade; his verbal was very good - 427, but still not qualifying for classes, so that was disappointing for him. It really sounded like when he left the testing place that he was 'stuck on the last question' on both parts of the test. I wondered at the time if that was really the last question or just where he got stuck. I spent some time explaining how really really good that 427 is but he is still a tiny bit unhappy about not getting to take the classes (unless he decides to try again, which I suggested he could if he wanted).
I also asked if it is really hard for him to skip or guess at questions and he said, definitely, he hates doing that - I guess I have a perfectionist on my hands despite my denials of it...
I hope taking it helped him in the following week when he had to run through the CoGAT at school; wish I knew when and if I would ever see those scores!
On the bright side for folks still waiting - perhaps it is a good sign of having qualified for courses!
Good luck to all the kiddoes still waiting.
My main question now is whether the percentile rank amongst 5th graders can be translated into a percentile rank amongst 3rd graders, but I think I have read somewhere here that this would not be possible - let me know if anyone has any theories on it!
