What parents need to know about the SB-5 test
The SB-5 is usually administered in a clinical or school set up for kids pre-k and older, and is given by a trained individual in the field of psychology, psychiatry, or in intelligence testing. Some psychologists are trained specifically for administering the Stanford-Binet exam, and they can give good, precise insight to parents regarding how their child is coping. The SB-5 tests both verbal and non-verbal areas, measuring some intelligence across the following aspects: working memory, visual-spatial, fluid reasoning, and general knowledge.
The average standard score of the SB-5 is 100, and has a standard deviation of 15 for composite scores. Parents can ask the test administrator to explain to them in detail what the scores indicate for their child’s future and can give good insight on their learning capacities.
