Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment WISC-IV scoring

I know WISC-IV is outdated but we don't use wisc v around here yet.

My daughter (14yo) did the first 5 subtests today.
She couldn't do the final item (14th?) in time on Block Design but was able to complete the earlier designs in time. What is the approx scaled score for that?

Also, does Picture Concepts have a discontinuation criteria?

I encourage you to wait for your examiner to give the scaled/standard scores and interpretation when the evaluation is complete. (In any case, this is insufficient information even to approximate a scaled score.)

Picture Concepts does have discontinuation criteria, as do all of the subtests, with the exception of the two processing speed subtests, which have straightforward overall time limits.

Thanks. I�m not sure if they even give out the scores or just some verbal comments about how the testing went... I�m not from the USA.
