Is the person that would administer the WISCIV experienced w/ testing gifted kids? That is very important from what I've read here. Some kids automatically say "I don't know" b/c they don't want to be wrong. Someone who doesn't get that will just move on and mark it wrong. I heard DS give the tester a one word answer. The tester would say in a very monotone voice, "Can you tell me more?" and DS would rattle off a long answer. Also the tester had said he would get to know DS first, let DS play w LEGOs for 15min or so to warm up etc but he didn't. They sat down and just started. WEll, that subtest, the block design, DS got easy ones wrong but got all the hard ones right. I think DS was quite nervous. Also, the tester said DS fatigued quickly and he would have scored higher if had split up the test into 2 days. DS had had soccer practice right before the test and the psych said that wasn't good but DH refused to let DS miss practice for some test lol.
