Question

What grade level would an adult with an IQ of 68 be able to achieve?

Answer 1

Known as mild (IQ range 55 -70) mental retardation,

Individuals with mild mental retardation (formerly referred to as "educable"):

    * are likely to need only intermittent to limited support;

    * typically do not "look" different from their non-disabled peers;

    * often have only mild or moderate developmental delays, except in academics, which is often the major area of deficit;

    * therefore, they are often not identified until they enter the school setting, where their cognitive disability is most apparent;

    * in Minnesota, students with mild MR spend most of the school day in the regular classroom;

    * they typically attain 3rd- to 6th-grade academic achievement levels by the time they finish high school;

    * as adults, many, though not all, with mild MR will be able to obtain independent employment;

    * many will marry, have children, and blend rather indistinguishably into the community; for those who achieve total independence, the label of mental retardation is no longer appropriate.  

Answer 2

3rd.

IQ is an intelligence quotient.   it is a litmus test, for intelligence.  It is a battery designed for capacity and ability, not wherewithal and dedication.    I stick to my answer.

Answer 3

Any where between grade 6 - 9 level, some times a bit higher. But these tests are only a rough measure of academic intelligence, not what a person could achieve with support and understanding from those around them.

Answer 4

With support and accomodations a GED or HS diploma is possible to achieve.
