Yes he is a perfectionist and wants to make sure anything he answers is correct, but when he must complete a computer timed assessment - he just can't get through it.
Any advice on how to help him get through these timed tests?
Thanks in advance,

Some kids with low scores on processing speed are actually quite fast at processing but are too perfectionistic to demonstrate it on a test. Other kids actually think and respond slowly. Some have both. Do you have an idea of which your child is?
If it is only perfectionistic behavior, one thing to do is to try to figure out how to allow him some flexabilty to 'rush through' sometimes and 'double check' at other times. Some of the poster here have found that while they were in classrooms well below their readiness level, they were anxious, and took refuge in doing things 100%. The cure for that is to be in classrooms where the work is actually intellectually challenging (aside from timed multiplication facts)
Does any of this fit?
