The SB5 is designed a little differently though. There is one test for all ages and the test items are adapted to the person's abilities as the test progresses. Maybe it would be a better choice for older gifted kids?
Maybe, but I recall Dottie mentioning that the high scores she had seen on the SB-5 came mostly from much younger kids. I do know that the SB-5 generally scores lower than the WISC and Debra Ruff recommends a score of 120 being considered gifted on that test. While she may recommend that, I doubt that coming out with a score in the low to mid-120s would benefit the OP's child in terms of school advocacy. (Of course, her dc's score may be much higher than that; I'm just extrapolating on how a MG who winds up with that type of score might not appear even MG on paper.)
