    Given that the PSI is so high, it *could* bump the FS to 130 ... That VCI is definitely not right at 155 with those subtest scores, but whatever mistake was made in calculating the VCI (probably adding in an extra subtest by mistake, or maybe the PSI was 155?) wasn't necessarily made in calculating the FSIQ.

    Very interesting score profile! It's not often we see PSI so high.

    Yes, but a scaled score of 15 roughly corresponds to a standard score of 125 (see Score Conversion Tables ), so I would be surprised.

    I am crossing my fingers for your DD, though smile

    Given how 'off' the scoring was, it would lead me to think the tester was pretty unfamiliar with this test, and possibly unfamiliar with dealing with gifted kids. Curious what others would say on that.


    The PSI is very nice! And she does end up with a 130 which is hopefully where you need to be for the public school, but I would wonder if in general it was a less than ideal testing situation for your child.

    And welcome back, Dottie smile

    Yay! She did get the 130 smile ! I hope that she qualifies for the GT program with that.

    What do you need for 145?
