I have not had my son tested yet; and I think that you are asking if a more verbal test would give him a lower score. I would say yes.
If you are just trying to find out is your child has ELD, I second mich in getting an SLP to evaluate him. ELD is hard to hide. You pretty much know that it is there, in our case. My DS is still 2 academic grade levels above where he should be; but in a verbal test, a tester may get a lot of "I don't knows" from him because he can't get to the place in his brain where that word is, even if he knows it. Feel free to give more info.:)
