Help with Test Scores

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

Please, would someone tell me what they see in these scores? I’m trying hard to get a handle on where my 10 y/o dd stands. These were done in November, and have changed significantly since tests done in 2000. We’ve been doing remediation — private LD school, lots of at home work, etc. Now we’re considering a move to another school. I just want to try and figure out what would be best, and am getting more confused as time goes on. These are from the WISCIII:

Verbal Test (Scaled Score) Performance Test (Scaled Score)
Information 10 Picture Completion 13
Similarities 10 Coding 13
Arithmetic didn’t test Picture Arrangement 8
Vocabulary 10 Block Design 7
Comprehension 12 Object Assembly 1
Digit Span 7 Mazes 9

Verbal IQ Score 102 55%
Performance IQ Score 96 39%
Full Scale IQ Score 99 47%
Verbal Comprehension 103 58%
Perceptual Organization 80 9%

Note: The doctor felt the object assembly test result was misleading — probably due to fatigue. He discounted it as an accurate reflection of her abilities.

Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning
Story Memory 9
Sentence Memory 9
Number/Letter 8

Verbal Memory 91, 27%

Woodcock Johnson III - Tests of Cognitive Ability
Auditory Working Memory SS 106 67% GE 5.9

Woodcock Johnson III - Tests of Achievement
Spelling of Sounds SS 94 34% GE 3.3

Since you haven’t gotten any answers I”ll respond as another parent. Seems strange that he didn’t do the arithmetic subtest. It could be that he was going to do it last and decided your child was no longer giving accurate results.

I would say that the processing tests and the one subtest of the W-J are in keeping with his IQ. If the IQ is accurate then he is preforming as he should.

Any experts have anything to say?
