Hi, I can help with the WAIS-III questions. SS means scaled score. They take the raw score he got on the test and compare it to the scores of the hundreds (if not thousands) of people who took the test in order to develop normal scores, and then translate the raw score into the scaled score.
A scale score of 10 is the mean or average. If you get 3 above or below 10, that is significantly higher or lower than the average.
Feel free to turn on your babblemail and babblemail me if you want more info. about intrepreting the WAIS. And you could also complain to your State Board of Psychology if you feel the psychologist is not qualified to be doing the kind of testing you had.
Good luck,
gg
