We are having DS4.5 tested in about a month at the Gifted Development Center in Colorado. I have a couple of questions and also would love others experience with testing at the GDC.

They decided to do the WPPSI but Barbara Gilman did mention that we might have to do the SBL-M as well. She was suspecting he might hit the ceiling on the WPPSI. My question is, why not do the SBL-M right away? I should have asked this but didn't think of it at the time.

Even if a child would NOT hit the ceiling on the WPPSI, but especially when there is a suspicion he might wouldn't it make sense to use a test with a wider range?

Thanks, Annie
