My DS, was tested at 3 years, 11 months with the DAS-II
I was in the room and watched. The first day the test went on for about 3 hours with plenty of breaks. The second day it was about 2 hours with smaller breaks. The first day, he was very responsive, but the second, he woke up in a bad mood and said he was anxious to go back (that was sad). He started just not answering and you could see that he just didn't want to continue but we completed it.
I only have his overall score at the moment because I asked the school psychologist when we spoke. She said the overall was 138/99.8%ile.
Questions:
How accurate are scores at this age? I thought I read that are inflated?
I watched and I saw him stop responding when I know he knew the answers, can I consider his scores accurate? Are they compared to other children age doing the actual test and likely acting the same way?
I'm so curious what the breakdown of the scores will be.
So far, I am really glad we tested and feel that the pscyhologist understood my concerns and very much wants to help.
Thank you!
