George, yes, that is the thinking. You would only be able to apply extended norms to the single subtest with a 19. The maximum scaled score possible, even with extended norms, would be 28. This might have a moderate effect on the index score in question, but a negligible effect on the FSIQ. The trade-offs with switching to the extended norms, which were developed from a fairly small norm group of HG+ children (versus the standard norms, based on thousands of data points), are not worth the relatively small improvement in spreading the curve.
