Finally decided to take the plunge and get DS (5y 3m) tested on the WPPSI in 2 weeks. I was initially going to wait till he was 6 to take the WISC, then I realized the WPPSI takes an hour but the WISC takes almost twice the amount of time to administer. Don't think DS will tolerate 2 hours even in 9 months' time.
So far what I'm hearing is that the WPPSI is either an underestimate or similar to a future WISC (if the child was focused that day?)
What do you tell a 5yo about the WPPSI? I'm worried he'll reply with silly answers for fun and/or take too long with the processing subtests out of perfectionsim?
