We did WJ for my DD6, and I am glad we had the timed sections. We now have reading/writing/math fluency scores. It is really useful to know where she stands. I thought she might not be too fast with her arithmetic operations and writing. Now we know that she had a very good writing fluency score and a good and solid math fluency as well. For me, this is important since it adds more information. If we were ever to consider a grade skip, we know from her scores that she'd be able to handle it. We also realized that she is faster with numbers than what we thought, so even if that was her lowest score of al the subtests (97th percentile); it is still pretty good.
