My DD8 was tested yesterday using the SB5. Afterwards, the psychologist explained a bit about each subtest and her projected score. I asked if she hit any ceilings. He explained that out of the 10 subtests, she got to the 6th level on 8 of them. He did tell me that there are 6 levels for each subtest and that to terminate that subtest, the child has to miss a certain number of questions in the level. So if a child misses x number in level one, the psych. moves on to the next subtest. Otherwise, he moves to level 2 of the same subtest, etc.
My question is regarding his response to my question. I don't think he really answered it. Just because she got to the 6th level in 8 of them does not mean that she hit the ceiling, right? There are only 1 or 2 subtests that he thinks she will end up with a score of 19, so that would imply that she hit the ceiling on a maximum of 2 subtests right?
