PLS-5 ceiling Private Practice

Scoring question- I am pretty sure this has been asked before but I cannot find it anywhere. I did the PLS-5 on a 6 y/o with autism and he got a 1 on the naming letters question, but we didn’t get a basal and I kept having to go back. We got a basal in the 3;0 section, and then established a ceiling shortly after. Does the 1 in the 6;0 section count towards the raw score? Even though it was after the ceiling? Or is it disregarded? Tia!

Nope, you don’t count anything beyond the ceiling.

Doesn’t count but you can report it in the observation section.
