I'm no SB-V expert, but I do think speed plays a part in some of their subtests, so a slow kid is going to get penalized there also.

Timed tests are not as big a factor in the SB-V as they are in the WISC. Our psych recommended the SB for our not-fast, visual kid...then he did better on the WISC!

Go figure! crazy
