What a terrific thread - you guys are the best!
I'm learning a huge amount of stuff here. For one thing, it seems to me a really bad idea in our case to choose a test that measures knowledge gained so far. The main reason is that, although DS has a huge amount of specialized knowledge - from Norse mythology to the moons of Jupiter, from the history of the Galactic Empire to the geometry of square numbers, and so on - I simply can't imagine that a test-maker thinking about what a 4-year-old might know could manage to hit on his specialties.
Second, I'm so happy to hear people say that it's not crazy to keep a DYS application at least in the back of the mind.
These things together make me more confident that we should use the SB-V if we do something relatively soon, or the WISC if we decide to wait a couple of years.
Weather permitting we're having a "get-acquainted" meeting with the assessor on Saturday. We'll see what she thinks, but it's good to have some background going in.
