Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment SB5 useful?

Dont worry Dottie, I wasnt personally offended!

I really was just throwing out into cyberspace, another opinion! I think, like you, my dd's tester is getting national as well as international clients, so I presume her results have some validity? That is why, I mentioned it.

In the case, of my own dd, I really feel that as her WIAT was done based on first grade norms, before she was 5.5 and she hit many ceilings, plus her SB5 results, make me think, that two tests positively reflect each other. Also I think in real life, my dd academically does come across as the kind of kid that you would expect to have these kind of numbers.

So, I am cool and also at the end of the day, I do also think, once we are near the end of the spectrum, these tests are not exactly perfect and probably all a bit hazy.
