    Hello-

    When taking the SB test, you start at Level 1 then progress to Level 2 then to Level 3 then finally to Level 4.

    Does anyone know the IQ ranges (if any) for each of these levels?

Hopefully the wait won't be too long!

    The wait will be...never!! DD (3.5) made it into Level 3 but then lost attention and stopped so we won't know how far she could have gone. I do know she got the first verbal vocab. word at the "17 yo" old starting point. I was just wondering if there was an IQ range for each Level.

    We had a student tester conduct this SB for his class presentation and because dd didn't finish, he had to make some stuff up. I figured her full scale fell in the 120's somewhere and the VIQ was in the 130's. So I was wondering if getting into Level 3 indicated an IQ in the 120's. If that makes sense!!!!

    (Her WPPSI-III FQ was about 122 and VIQ was about 134 - so I thought the scores may be close. This was also done by the same student tester for his class.)

    Again, level 3 will mean something quite different for each age level, and you really need the exact scoring tables for each subtest area to speculate.

    Yeah, I know she's young but I was disappointed that he couldn't give us any results!! For me, as an average person, I find it exciting that she's smart so my curiosity is high! I was just hoping the SB might correlate with the WPPSI scores.
