The Assessment

Which test is right for your child?

The right measure depends on your child's age. Both are Wechsler scales, the gold standard schools recognize.

Ages 3y 10m - 5y 11m
WPPSI-IV
Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, Fourth Edition, designed for young children applying to preschool or kindergarten programs.
Ages 6 and older
WISC-V
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fifth Edition, the gold standard for school-age children seeking private school placement or gifted program entry.

Not sure which applies? I'll confirm the right test for your child's age when you book, so you don't need to choose in advance.

Common Questions

IQ testing, answered

Most IQ testing sessions take about 80 minutes. Your child works one-on-one with me on puzzles and activities in a relaxed setting, with breaks as needed. It's a single visit. No additional appointments needed.

We will get you the results within 3 business days, so you have what you need well before most application deadlines. If your deadline is tight, mention it when you book and we'll do our best to accommodate.

Keep it simple: a good night's sleep and a full breakfast are the best preparation. You can let your child know they'll be doing some puzzles and activities with a friendly adult, and that there are no right or wrong answers. There's no studying. In fact, the goal is to see your child relaxed and at their best.

It depends on age. Children ages 3 years 10 months through 5 years 11 months take the WPPSI-IV; children ages 6 and older take the WISC-V. You don't need to choose. I'll confirm the right measure based on your child's age.

The flat $800 fee covers administration of the test, complete scoring, and a written summary of results. That's everything you need to submit with a private school or gifted program application. There are no add-on charges. The report includes the Full Scale IQ (FSIQ) plus all primary index scores. Families who pay by cash, check, or Zelle save $20.

You can pay by Zelle, Venmo, cash, or check. Payment is due before the appointment.

Once results are ready, send me the link from your child's application and I will upload them directly. You also receive a copy.
