I truly doubted myself at one point that it existed based on the reactions I got from some people in the field.

A few points difference is generally not a big deal. Just to clarify... a derived WJ score is used to check for relative consistency between the SB IQ score and an actual WJ achievement score... in other words, the derived score is not an actual WJ achievement score... calculating a derived WJ score does not eradicate the need for WJ achievement testing?
