In re to through the school or privately, I don't know. It sounds like the intent is to do something like the OLSAT, CogAT, Raven, etc. as a screener and then go to the WISC or SB-5 from there. Do you know how well he needs to do on the group screening test to move on?
I think that it is really good that they move on to an actual IQ test and don't just stop at the group test. My younger dd likely would have been weeded out by the group test, though, b/c she scored well above average but not in that 98th+ range. Yet her IQ score easily hit that 98+.
I guess that you'll just have to wait and see on the group test and decide what to do from there.
