What is the maximum raw score for the LDSb?

The maximum raw score for the Letter-Number Sequencing subtest (LDSb) on the WISC-V is indeed 8 points. This subtest measures a child's working memory by requiring them to listen to a series of letters and numbers and then to repeat the letters in alphabetical order followed by the numbers in numerical order.

The scoring system is set so that children receive points based on the number of correct sequences they can accurately recall and organize. The structure of the questions and the expected responses allows for a maximum score of up to 8 points, capturing a child's ability to hold and manipulate the required information in their working memory. Thus, recognizing the rationale behind the scoring and structure of this subtest is crucial for interpreting a child's performance on the WISC-V effectively.
