I worry about PG issues and DD is some 4 some 5. Her FSIQ score on the WISCIV is 148 and Davidson considers that number on that test as PG. Hope this helps Incog

Not necessarily. kickball, I think your GT denial is about as strong as mine...so you're in big trouble, I'm afraid. Level 4s and 5s often tend to cross back and forth. I would say that most of the time my DS6 is a level 4, but he is a clear level 5 on the things he loves. Which makes sense, right? We all do more and better in the areas of our specific interest. So I'd say he's a level 4, but he's PG. IQ and achievement test scores confirm it. He's a solid DYS candidate. But he's not level 5 most of the time. Sorry, kickball, commence worrying! Kriston

Though, truly grad school is even more fun. you know, I think I already paid those dues... Though I would have been in heaven to have had like 12 majors in college and have just stayed there for years and years! English and Physics and Art History and Econ... True, my parents and their bank account would have been less enamoured of the plan, but hey, you can't please everyone all the time, KWIM? Kriston

I too know a level 5, and whoaaa, hard to explain. Her mom thinks she is crazy. Pretty neat little kid. I
