Gifted and Talented Screening

Sheela has been invited to test for the Gifted and Talented Program. The basic requirement is to test higher than the 97th percentile in one of the three cognitive categories. She was only 93rd in quantitative, but she did 98 in verbal and 99 in nonverbal, and her composite score was a 99. Then you need a teacher's recommendation. That wasn't much of a stretch goal Mrs. DeWaters loves her. The next step is to take both the Iowa Test of Basic Skills Achievement in both Math and Reading plus the Critical and Creative Writing Assessment. Those tests will be administered on the last Saturday in April with results due on the 2nd of June.
