That is an interesting question, and good point.

I read a lot of conflicting info about this test. I have read a lot that says that children usually score lower on this test, and the Ruf's levels (as debatable as they are) do have lower thresholds for the SB-V. But then I read a lot on here about the really high numbers for 5 year olds.

I'll be curious to see how my DS does if I retest him with the WISC at some point. He was 4.7 when he tested on the SB-V, I wonder if his score is part of the "5 year old inflation theory." smile
