Hi,
Can anyone help me make sense of my dd's two extremely different scores on the SB5 (high) and the WISC-IV (Way Lower)? The second set of scores, using the WISC-IV, this year, come from a full neuropsych eval triggered by teacher reporting she is struggling with math and work completion. Processing Speed will jump out at you.
I guess my question is: she seemed super smart across the board on the SB-5, with an exception or two. She seemed average on the WISC-IV, with an exception or two. What is going on here? Freakin' me out...
I'll just put them out here for you to see:
SB-5 (one year ago, age 5.8)(she did report "panicking" when she knew a test was timed and then her brain "melted"):
FSIQ = 134
Verbal IQ = 135
Nonverbal IQ = 131
Subtests:
Fluid Reasoning = Nonverbal: 18; Verbal: 17
Knowledge = Nonverbal: 17; Verbal: 15
Quantitative Reasoning = Nonverbal: 11;Verbal: 17)
Visual Spatial Processing = Nonverbal: 15; Verbal: 14
Working memory = Nonverbal: 13; Verbal: 15
NOW, the WISC-IV (taken 1 month ago age: 6.8):
FSIQ= 110 (!?)
GAI= 121
Verbal Compehension= 128
Perceptual Reasoning= 108
Working Memory= 107
Processing Speed= 80
Subtest Scores:
Similarities= 14
Vocabulary= 17
Comprehension= 13
Block Design= 10
Picture Concepts= 10
Matrix Reasoning= 14
Digit Span= 10
Letter NUmber= 13
Coding= 6
Symbol Search= 7
Now for those of you who wonder about the WJ3 Ability:
