Above-level testing is the procedure to test the gifted student who is younger or in a lower grade than the group for which the test was originally designed. The test is used as a screening process to help teachers make decision whether their programs and services are at the appropriate level of challenge to inspire their advanced learners. The test comprises of 4 academic areas; Mathematics, Thai, English, and Science. After the test, teachers will receive information that shows the score of their students compared to that of students in the higher grades.
