re: Do most school systems give kids IQ tests?

I was given one in high school. I remember it well. It was the day my parents realized I was grossly underachieving.

Yep…those tests can reveal underachieving. Sometimes it’s due to a possible learning disability, emotional problem, attention problem, etc….or the student just isn’t motivated… and doesn’t like school. Sometimes it can also show a student is being bullied or there are problems outside school. Each case is different.

Also… a student could be bored… not challenged enough.
