Sorry to ask, and apologies if I sound dense - this is all new to me.
My oldest son came home with a letter from school saying he'd scored 133 on the Non-Verbal Reasoning CAT recently. The letter went on to say that he'd be "watched" by his teachers from now till January, and if he showed any outstanding ability in any particular classes, he'd be put onto the G&T programme for that subject.
I don't know what his scores were on the Quantitative or Verbal Reasoning tests.
Is there anything I can do to help or support him..? And what exactly IS non-verbal reasoning - is it like those shape-based puzzles on an IQ test?
I knew he was bright, but he's not in the top group for Maths or English, so is this a sign that his actual cognitive powers are higher than the work he's producing in lessons? Can I help him in any way? Does a high score on this particular paper suggest he might be bright in computers or any subject in particular..?
Thanks! Any help at all would be lovely.
