    DD6 just did WJ III yesterday and I don't know what your Brief Achievement score is. I'd say bug the tester for all the info you can get! You may need it later! But now i am wondering if i need to find out more too frown

    What is the brief achievement score??

    I think there is different information that you get from one and the other.

    These scores are very impressive to me in terms of standard deviations.

    The test has a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. That means that 95% of the kids would score between 70 and 130 in the test.

    Davidsons requires scores above the 3 SD marks (145). Your dd's scores are (except for that oral language) at 3, 4, and 5 standard deviations above the mean.

    Dottie, both DS7 and DS5 have brief achievement calculated and their WJ-III norms don't seem to be the same. I believe DS5 fit nicely into the norms you have. I am not sure about the other brief scores as none of their reports include one.
