just from the teacher side of the fence....most schools are not using IQ tests to place children in gifted classes as they did when the majority of us on gc were school aged. the trend is to focus on one area (writing or math for example) and take children who excel in that area. some programs i have seen for children in programs that focus on writing included writing and illustrating a book (3rd graders) or putting together newspapers (4th graders). additionally, just because you were in a gifted class one year, does not automaticly qualify you to be in the next year's gifted program. the entrance requirements vary by the program and year, but few use an IQ test.
