If your child is applying to an advanced academic program in the area, their application may benefit from including the results of a cognitive test. This is also true for gifted program appeals.
Many independent schools in the area require cognitive tests as part of their application process.
I offer the tests required by these programs, including:
-
- Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, Fifth Edition (Early SB-5)
- Weschler Intelligence Test for Children, Fifth Edition (WISC-V)
- Woodcock Johnson, Fourth Edition, Tests of Cognitive Abilities (WJ-IV)
- Woodcock Johnson, Fourth Edition, Tests of Achievement (WJ-IV)
