A test is like a snapshot- it can be very flattering, or make the subject look not so good. I'm sure we all have photos of ourselves and our kids that we love and others we hide in a drawer to relegate to the trashcan. Don't get too hung up on the actual numbers- look more at the patterns and pay attention to potential strengths and weaknesses.
There are many variables that affect how well a child will score on assessments. You can try to make the experience a positive one for your child by not fretting openly, making sure he has a good night's sleep, giving him a good high protein, low sugar breakfast on test day, etc.
If in the end, you don't feel that the results form a good picture of your child, then consider retesting with a different tool and administrator. YOU know your child best, and parents are actually pretty good about pegging their child's LOG.
