DS 7y 9m was given the WIAT-III on July 31. The report I was given appears to be generated by Pearson. In the header, it lists his grade as "3" and right above the Subtest Score Summary it says "Grade Based Scores: Trimester: Spring".
So here's what I'm unclear about, and I asked the tester, and tried Googling a bit, but are his scores based on "Spring" as in the standards at the end of the spring BEFORE 3rd grade, or at the END of 3rd grade?
It seems like if it was testing him against what he'd be expected to know at the beginning of 3rd grade, that would be "Fall" not "Spring"?
For practical purposes, I'm not sure it matters because all his scores are firmly "average" (and he skipped a grade, so they would probably be "above average" for his "real" grade), but I'm girding for a likely uphill battle to convince the school to provide dyslexia support and I want to make sure I have all the details nailed down. "Average" will probably look great to them! BUT his standard scores are still well below where they "should" be based on his WISC.
