Thanks for the suggestions. He's already young for his class so we don't think a grade skip would be good from the social/emotional standpoint. Also, he has a few friends in his class that are the one positive thing for him at school so reluctant to give that up.
That's understandable. FWIW, my one who skipped a grade was already the youngest in grade, but she is also a girl so being smaller wasn't as big of a deal for her and she wanted the skip. Is subject acceleration in more subjects an option that might keep him with his friends for most of the day but get him a better fit educationally?
Any idea what issue could be causing the lower picture concept/completion given the other subtests in that category are fairly strong/inconsistent with these two scores.
IMHO, the other two tests in PRI are more visual spatial/engineering/mathy than picture concepts. Picture concepts to me stands out as a bit different than the other two in that it is testing more of a "what's different here" where as the other two tests are testing patterns made of blocks, stuff like tantrix and tetris types of things.
OTOH, it could be something totally random. For instance, my youngest had a weird pattern on the VCI subtest with a 19, 17, and a 12 if I recall correctly. She's hugely socially aware and the test that was low was comprehension, which tests if you are aware of the socially appropriate responses. Years after, it randomly came up in conversation and it turns out that dd gave a bunch of socially deviant responses that involved things like stealing money that you should return b/c she is a budding criminal mastermind and always coming up with ways to subvert rules, which fortunately she doesn't implement. Her response was that they were asking her not what she
should but what she
would do.
