    We are finally having DS7 tested next Tuesday, we have a tester who only charges her normal per hour rate to do the test and has experience with HG+ kids. The scheduler said it would take about an hour, even after I told her that we suspect DS might be HG+. Is that a realistic amount of time or should I plan on it taking longer?

    Sounds short to me, I think ds9's took over 2 hours, but he is no speed demon. It may be possible the tester is able to start at a higher level given your information about possibly hg+. Dottie or some other wisc-guru around here might be able to state whether that's feasible.
    Good luck to him!

    Thank you! I had thought that 2hrs seemed closer to what most people report. I'm sure the tester will take whatever time is needed, but I'm more worried about our bank account, lol. Even at cheap, this is a stretch, so I need to make sure we have it budgeted correctly.
