Retest Criteria
If a test is deemed invalid due to documented illness, for example, by the GATE psychologist who administered the test, a retest may be allowed. The retest may not be scheduled fewer than 6 months after the previous test because of test familiarity. The Raven Progressive Matrices will be the test instrument used.

Students will be invited to retest at the next designated grade (gr. 5 or 7) if they have only taken one test and they meet the following criteria:

• Raven score of 85th percentile or above (gr. 5); 90th percentile or above (gr 7)
  
  -OR-
  
  
• two scores of Advanced on the CST* (gr. 5), three scores of Advanced on the CST* (gr. 7)

• Five scores of Advanced on the CST* (grade 5) or seven scores of Advanced on the CST* (grade 7) in either area (English Language Arts or Math) any years

Any requests for a third test must go through the Retest Review Committee for consideration.

*CST = California Standards Test
