[quote=Anonymous]Well, this is odd. My child recently took the WISC-V through GMU so that we can apply for AAP placement (child is in private school now). A grad student conducted the assessment. During the debrief with the tester, he informed me that my child apparently "didn't understand" one part of the exam and that he stopped halfway through and, instead of explaining it or letting my child ask other questions, then chose an "alternate activity." As such, there is no subscore for that particular area of the WISC, but the tester assured me it did not impact the overall score.

I find this strange and feel as though I got incomplete testing results. I'm sure a single subscore isn't going to make or break the application, but if I paid for a comprehensive test, I do believe we are entitled to complete results so that the AAP panel has all the information needed to make an educated decision.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? If so, what did you do? I know that having a child take the WISC-V more than once in a year is frowned upon, but now I'm questioning whether these results are even valid.[/quote]
