somewhere, did you receive a copy of the WISC subtest scores, and are they all within a consistent range, or do you see variations > 3 points among subtests or greater than 15 points between VCI/PRI/PSI/WM?
I have a copy of the WISC subtest scores. IIRC, between VCI and PRI was a difference of 13 points (BUT - for PRI, DS hit the ceiling a few times on the subtests, so the difference was probably greater between PRI and VCI). There were also some great difference in the WM section. I remember the tester's reasoning, but can't recall the actual difference. (I will look at the paperwork and get back here.)
Can you also let us know how wide the discrepancy was between ability and achievement?
Between ability and achievement - ballpark figures were about a 15 point spread between verbal ability (higher) and achievement. But there was also about a 15 point spread between PRI and math achievement (higher).
And - last question - I promise lol - when you look at the achievement tests is there a lot of scatter in the scores or are they consistently at the same level? If there is scatter, are the tests called "fluency" lower than the other test scores?
I appreciate your questions, actually. Because if I am missing something, or if the tester is missing something - I WANT TO KNOW! Not too much scatter - the reading and writing was consistently lower than expected and the math was consistently higher than expected based on WISC (but as previously mentioned, DS hit ceilings on WISC and didn't do extended norms, so I don't know how high he would have gone on the WISC PRI). I am going to take a look and get back here.
Anything else I should be looking for?
