Yes, that is the standard battery used to calculate the FSIQ. In fact, one is not allowed to make more than one substitution in the calculation of the FSIQ, and then only if the standard core subtest was spoiled in some way (invalidated), such as when we had a fire drill in the middle of digit span.
As it happens, there are actually many more subtests on the WISC-V than most students or their parents will ever hear of, as they are not part of the standard battery.
The FSIQ subtests were selected based on their psychometric qualities--i.e., statistics regarding which ones were the highest quality contributors to measuring general intelligence. The two cognitive proficiency domains each contribute only one subtest because higher-level reasoning is considered to be more important than rote speed or memorization. Likewise, visual spatial skill appears to be less of a factor in academic success than either verbal cognition or nonverbal abstract reasoning, which is why VS gets one subtest, and VC and FR each get two.
The selection of which subtest is included in the FSIQ is mostly not up to the examiner (except in the type of situation noted above), and specifically is not intended to work to anyone's advantage or disadvantage.
Should you worry about the splits? Not necessarily. I've discussed elsewhere that there are several non-alarming explanations for these splits, as well as others of varying degrees of functional importance. Cd
VC). Do you have any IRL concerns regarding speed or memory, or inconsistencies in those areas?
