Backstory, DS 5 was tested at 4 with the wppsi. He scored FSIQ of 139, verbal was 147, visual was 129.
Since then he's been pulled out of preschool, and we are homeschooling K. There is also some concern about ADHD. I am contemplating getting a full evaluation when he turns 6 to sort out the ADHD business. I'm also really curious if he would qualify for DYS on the WISC, but from what I'm reading on this board, the WISC is usually lower than the WPPSI, so there is a slim chance he would qualify. The main reason I would like him to qualify is so that we would be able to attend the DYS events, and he can meet other kids like him. I'm not exactly sure if he's PG, he seems HG or EG to me, but then I read about other PG kids, and I think DS could be. Obviously it matters little in the end, and it's even less important if we comtine to homeschool.
So has anyone had their child score higher on the WISC? I guess his verbal would have gotten him in if it was the WISC. He had the achievement scores on the WJ at 4, but we didn't apply because of the iq score. (also DS was normed as a 1st grader, so the report was kind of weird, and not complete.)
dd11 took the wppsi at 6, and took the WISC last week. Her verbal and FSIQ both went up by almost 1 SD--IMO due to issues of perfectionism/fear of saying the wrong thing and the first tester not getting gifted kids. I had not expected to have DYS qualifying scores on the WISC but we did. I don't think it makes that much sense to retest with wppsi at this point.
edited to add: dd4 took the wppsi almost a year ago--she was not that cooperative, same tester who first tested older dd, and her FSIQ was 124. I know that is not a true picture of this kid, and fully expect the WISC score to be higher if she is cooperative(this is the kid who "looks" more like a DYS kid to me).
