Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment What do the subtest scores reveal?

Yes, the subtest scores can be helpful guides to strengths and weaknesses depending on the pattern of the results and the quality of the assessment. Without knowing which test you're referring to or what the scores are it's difficult to say much more than that. If you'd care to share more information perhaps you would get more specific feedback.

Substitutions are usually done in order to assure that the highest score is attained, on the assumption that this is a more accurate assessment of the child's intellectual ability.
