The Testing Process

Testing is done in person right in your home by a licensed school psychologist, who travels to location. All that is required is a quiet space with a table and 2 chairs (such as the dining room or kitchen table).  Aside from the convenience of not having to drive anywhere, at-home testing offers numerous proven advantages including: reducing testing anxiety, privacy, and  time efficiency. The entire testing process usually takes under 2 hours️ making it a stress-free experience for the student. Learn more about gifted testing.  

The assessment includes: 

• An IQ test.  The tests we use are the Wechsler Intelligence Scales:  WPPSI-IV (Ages 2.10 through 7), the WISC-V (Ages 6 through 16.10) or the WAIS IV (16.11 through adult)
• An individual achievement test. The test we use is the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test: WIAT-IV
