    I finally got time and the chance to ponder the scores we got for ds8 on the wisc iv a few weeks back.

    Here is my question - we discussed with the psychologist that ds had a problem with timed math tests, but in the end I said, but he's actually good at arithmetic!

    Even if I had realized there was a possibility of sub'ing Arithmetic for letter number sequencing, which I read on the Linda Silverman site that is common, at least at the GDC, I am not sure I would have thought it a good idea...and I guess the psysch didn't think so either.

    But now I wish he had, I am wondering based on the final scores if substituting arithmetic what the fsiq would be - but I can't find a chart to figure that out - Dottie or anyone else have this info? I know it won't be a massive difference, but of course I am still curious.

    Also, wondering about asking the doctor, probably not to re-score, but just to see what he thinks of the whole thing.
    He did sub Info for Comprehension, since we had voiced some social issues concerns.

    Here are the scores I have for ds -
    Pri - 119
    block design - 14
    picture concepts- 11
    matrix reas. - 14
    (picture compl.) - 12

    VCI -124
    similarities - 14
    vocab. - 14
    info ** - 14
    (comprehension) - 8

    WMI - 102
    Digit span- 10
    letter-number seq - 11
    (arithmetic) - 13

    psi - 88
    coding -7
    symbol search - 9
    (cancellation) -8

    He noted that ds sometimes missed easier items but got harder ones, I was also wondering how to interpret that...?

    Also, he took this NNAT- Individual test, just for good measure posting it here, too.
    Scaled - 123
    Percentile - 94
    We are still waiting on WJ achievement testing results and a final write up from the doctor.

    Thanks for any info on this one~

    Hey, thanks for the info! Yes, they are nice scores, psi and the holy grail of '130' aside smile

    I will post back when we get the wj info...this waiting around is gettin' old.

    I am still holding out hope for the gt school program based on reading and....."odd" projects smile
