So guess who woke up with a fever this morning!?
Yep, DD6. So, on Wed. night she woke up hot and a bit sweaty but from her room being warm -- no fever, no complaints of not feeling well. She was happy and excited all morning yesterday and then seemed quite reserved going into the testing yesterday, but perked back up after and we actually had a mommy daughter afternoon at the mall. Then this morning slept in late (not like her) and went in to get her up for school and she's in bed sick, warm, and stuffed up.
So maybe she wasn't feeling well yesterday!? Ack!!
It was her first 1:1 testing and we just told her that the doctor wanted to see how she learns best. We said she'd be doing puzzles and thing similar to what she does with her gifted teacher at school, etc.
Soooooo....
My youngest was in that spot with the EXPLORE when she took it. She told me that she's wasn't feeling that well on the way in, but I figured that she just didn't want to take it and it was the last testing of the season, so I made her go anyway (I know, this is beginning to sound a lot more like this is on me than your situation lol!). when I picked her up, she had an outright fever and started vomiting in the car on the way home.
FWIW, while I think that it was far from her best performance, she had a few areas such as math where she did quite well none the less.
It's been so long since my kids were tested on the WISC-IV that I can't recall how long that took, though, on your original question and they both took it in connection with a bunch of other tests on the same day so I'm not sure what time was devoted to the WISC and what time was part of other tests. Like others have said, 1.5 hrs sounds about right, though.
