Be careful on Ruf's levels -- a friend of ours just tested with Ruf, with one of the most unbelievable children I've ever seen, and Ruf placed this kid, with one of the highest SB5 scores Ruf has ever seen, at a "high 4, low 5" just because the kid isn't in love with doing math! She's perfectly capable of doing math, ceilinged all her achievement subtests, etc., but just doesn't love the act of doing math. She'd have been a 5 (or a 6, LOL) if you'd asked me before the testing!

Level 5s are really, really rare ("serendipitous," I think, is the word Ruf uses -- so if your dc isn't in that category, it doesn't mean he's not PG. My ds is a DYS and I'd put him a high-3 to mid-4 -- definitely not a 5, imo. Also, the levels are very subjective. It's just another way of grouping, as Grin puts it, the "mildly PG" and the "wildly PG." smile
