Edited some parts of post out of an abundance of caution for privacy, now that I've received responses and been able to think through thingsA student's scores on the KBIT-2
Scores removedSame student's scores on the RIAS
Scores removedThe tester told the parent (me
) that usually, RIAS composite scores are about 8 points lower than KBIT-2 scores; this child's were 17 points lower.
The tester did say the disparity between verbal & nonverbal (on the RIAS) is statistically significant.
If I understand correctly, the KBIT is untimed, the verbal sections on the RIAS are untimed, and the nonverbal sections on the RIAS are timed.
Thoughts? Next steps, if any?
I think my options are as follows:
1. Leave it alone. This is her score, the end.
2. Ask this tester to administer a different test. (The tester said this was a possibility.)
3. Pursue private testing with a different test.
Thanks in advance for helping me process this.
