Given the information provided, this may be an apples-and-oranges comparison, as different tests measure different components of intelligence and are scored differently. For example Hoagies' Gifted Education Page shares a chart of approximately same level of intelligence indicated by different scores on different tests. (link- http://www.hoagiesgifted.org/highly_profoundly.htm) As another resource for parent research, Davidson Database also has a number of articles on the uses of various tests. ETA: Pearson offers a PDF explaining FSIQ, GAI, VCI, PRI, CPI, WMI, PSI for WAIS-IV and WISC-IV, easily found by a web search.
