When will I know about my child’s gifted testing?

Question

My son was recommended for gifted testing, and so far, he has completed two assessments. According to the counselor I spoke with, these two tests are all he needs for now. His most recent test was last week. Does anyone know when I might expect to hear about the results? 
Additionally, the teacher who recommended him for testing mentioned that he might be eligible to skip an entire grade. If this happens, both of my sons would end up in the same grade. Some people have suggested that this could lead to challenges. What are your thoughts on this situation?

NO< MANY STATES DO NOT USE AN IEP FOR THE GIFTED PROGRAM.

IEPs are for DISABILITIES at the federal level, I have heard of 1 state that has a state IEP for gifted programs, but many do not….and typical it is a G IEP

if your kid is really, gifted, ask him. yes, skipping a grade is often a horrible idea, 1st of all school is more than academics, it is socialization….2nd even if a kid can handle the advanced work, they are still missing a year of course work. For example, they may skip a year of US history or miss a year of physical science and skip ahead to biology…..

you really need to ask your older son how he would feel having his kid brother in class, you have to weigh what is best for both of them, can’t effectively punish older son to give younger son preferential treatment.

What kind of school is this? Most schools won’t skip students anymore- because of the problems with being in class with older and more mature students. They may send you a letter with the results. If your son is going to be put in a gifted program, they may set up a meeting with you, the teacher of the gifted program, and his regular teacher. You have to agree to the IEP-Individual Education Program.  That’s in the US. If you’re somewhere else, I have no idea.
