He was 8 for the first test. Since that first test, we made accommodations at school with multiple grade skips in subject areas. It has all worked well. He has been able to perform as a PG student at the appropriate levels, in certain subjects, so it comes as a surprise that there could be such a drop. However, he has been struggling a lot in other areas so the LD is not a surprise. Also looking at my notes, the tester used a newish test. Wisc v. Does that make a difference?
