[/quote] Possibly. If he gave very brief answers, refused to expand, or didn't answer at all due to shyness, that could certainly depress his scores. I'm less familiar with the SB-V, but I'm wondering if a different test that relies less on expansive verbal responses might be better for him. Maybe someone with experience with the SB or another test might chime in with thoughts on whether that might work better for him.
Another option might be trying to get him to meet the person who will be testing him ahead of time in the hopes that he might be less shy. [/quote]
I will try to find out which test they will give. I do think it will help just to explain to him before hand that he will do much better on the test the more he talks, answers questions, and give details regarding the questions. He won't like it but he will do it. See he didn't know on this last test that being quiet would hurt his score.
