Hi - we had our DS tested at 4 on the SB-V. I will see if I can find the thread where I asked your same questions! Right now, DSnow5 will be taking the WJ-III, and I've been trying to figure out what to tell him about that, since it's different from the IQ testing. DS thought the SB-V was very fun, but I'm not so sure he'll think the achievement testing will be fun, since it involves some writing, which he hates.
For the SB-V, we told him (after lovely advice here) that he would be in a room alone with the tester, that he could ask for as many breaks as he wanted, and that he should try to answer all the questions, even if they seem silly or easy, because that's how you get to the more interesting questions. We also had some good bribes for afterward if he cooperated.
Here's the thread from last year:
http://giftedissues.davidsongifted.org/BB/ubbthreads.php/topics/9953/1There is good on-topic info in the first couple of pages. After that we all went crazy with myers-briggs stuff, so you can skip that.
