Last time we did testing, it seemed like the WISC took forever (but then, dd was only 6 at the time and required some warming up to the tester first).

She took a brief break and just stopped to eat a snack when she needed (without coming out of the office). Her tester had orignally allowed for about 1 hour for the WJ-III, and she also went over 2 hours. The more advanced academically they are, the longer it can take; but as mentioned above, it depends on many other items like the tester's style.
