Wooops, typo on my part (I know DD is for daughter and DS is for son)...goes to show you I've had a stressful morning (sigh).
I'm very frustrated. My son is bright (teachers, friends, and strangers remind me of this all the time) and yet in order to guarantee him a spot into the gifted/talented class for first grade I have to have him tested. He is so young! And as most boys are, he can be immature. B/c he is not 6 yet (and timing is of the essence--need to have scores in before school is out-before he turns 6- so they can assign teachers/students for classes in Aug), the WPPSI was the psych's only choice as he is not old enough for the WISC or SB (or so she said).
The psych did bring me back in the room when they finally aborted mission with the test and the first thing I noticed was that her answer sheet was uncovered. My child could SEE very clearly that she was circling 0, 1, 2 for answers. Any child, much less a precocious one, is going to react to that.
She didn't charge me the full amount for the assessment (since I didn't even get a score), but it did cost $$.
Now we're back to square one. Considering going to another psych that's been recommended (this psych recommended doing that as well).
My husband and I have chosen not to share this whole testing process with our families (they would think we are nuts for doing this with our 5 yr old), so the more feedback, the better.
Thank you in advance.
