Luke the psychologist did not want to acknowledge that any of those 17s were ceilings at first but did look at the raw scores and agree that there was no way DD could have scored higher on the object assembly AND that she could have kept going and may have had more correct answers if she had not run out of questions on the other two tests I mentioned (but was very focused on the fact that she had made mistakes earlier on)...
I am pretty sure we will be getting her retested on the SB-V by someone who sees more than the occasional gifted child. Particularly if school are still not inclined to co-operate.
