To date, DS now 7 has had 2/3 of the DAS III and the WJ III. He was accepted into DYS without a complete IQ. For a variety of reasons, I've decided to have him tested again. I'd like opinions regarding the WISC IV and the SB V.
When DS took the DAS, I was told that my son stressed over the timed sections and I should consider the SBV when it came time for full scale testing. But that was 2 years ago and he has taken many sorts of timed tests since then. Nothing official but spelling tests, quick tables etc. and doesn't seem to mind the timed element at all. I had considered having him take the SCAT to see how he does in an official setting.
My son is extremely "mathy" currently working on 8th grade pre algebra, but he is accelerated to 6th in all subjects. The testing facility has someone that is well versed in GT kids and is willing to give either test. So how do you decide? What are the pro's and con's of each test?
