[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could be a processing issue or something else that affected the overall score. People would have more useful input with more info - age of DC and score. [/quote]

Yes, this. There is a way to calculate the score called the GAI if there is a significant processing speed issue. Could also have been an off day, a bad tester, who knows. If your child is thriving in school I would not worry about this now and would retest in a couple of years. If you are concerned because of private school admissions, then you could ask his current teacher to write a letter of support to counterbalance a wisc that misrepresents dc’s abilities. You also could pay for a one hour session to meet with the tester and get more information like did he/she think your child was having trouble connecting with him, was dc distracted, etc. [/quote]

Our kid took the test and her processing speed (especially in terms of visual field processing) was average, while her other scores were very high.  The tester spontaneously broke out that score and discussed it in the report.  [/quote]
