One thing that I do remember about the DAS is that it has a drawing component, called "copying." I think this is scored in the nonverbal section.


How do you determine the FSIQ? I only have 4 Cluster scores: GCA, Verbal, Nonverbal Reasoning, and Spatial.

The Copying is a part of the Spatial cluster along with Pattern Construction.


Thanks! I wasn't sure if the GCA was the FSIQ. How much variance do you think there would be now that he is older(5.5 vs. 3.5)? He scored lowest on the matrices and copying sections (69 and 73%) but in the 99+ range everywhere else.

I think we're going to have to pay to have him retested so I'm going to have to figure out which test we want to use.
