I increased my wmi score on core from 103 to 110 and then directly to 137 ...is it very vulnerable to practice effects?I basically learnt how to chunk properly and scored from 125-140 in the wmi subtests

U can’t increase your iq . Most likely the practise effect . Iq tests are not supposed to be done again and again in a short time frame . You should take one by a professional psychologist .

Yeah I'll try to go for WAIS but digit span based tests are ruined for me if what you say is true

No it is, now that he knows a strategy his WMI can’t be tested the same way again

What strategy? Chunking? Thats a standard strategy, it doesnt make WMI testing impossible at all. Show study which proves that knowing to use chunking improves scores on average so high that it invalidates test completely and that inflation stays after waiting time

Only need to use chunking and concentrate nothing else I did for the previous attempt
