Hello,

Our son turned five a couple months ago, and we're applying to DYS. I got a quote on the SB-V for $1300, and we can't really afford to do that at the moment. Does the SB-V usually cost so much? I called back for a quote on the WIAT because they said it would be cheaper. Now I'm looking it up, and it doesn't look like preschool children are usually tested with the reading and math portions. Is that correct? What happens if a person requests it? Is it possible to calculate accurate scores?

Anyone have a good test suggestion for a mathy five year old who will be in kindergarten this fall? Alternatively, anyone have a ballpark figure I should shoot for in negotiating down the price of an SB-IV or SB-V?
