is that why the DYS cut off is 5 points higher for WPPSI? Is it the content or the ceilings that make the difference? I thought I read some study that did a comparison of the two and found that the results were similar although the younger kids liked the SB5 better.

Also, WPPSI has a timed and writing component, if your kid has fine motor issues that will show up there but not necessarily with SB5.
