Strengths of WISC
- Good Standardization
- Useful for children with hearing disabilities, or visual/motor impairments
- Good Manuals
Weaknesses of WISC
- FSIQ is only made up of 7 scores
- Substituted test scores aren’t converted for FSIQ (limits reliability)
- Floor and Ceiling effects
- Practice effects
Strengths of SB-5
- Tests verbal and nonverbal domains
- Good concurrent validity
- Good standardization
- Wide age range reduces floor and ceiling effects
