- It will cost money, which might be a near-complete waste if the testing from the school in January is of high quality (assuming that IQ testing will be part of that).
There are schools in Massachusetts that do no IQ testing or other standardized testing other than the NCLB-mandated grade-level tests and which also refuse to even look at private IQ test results in the name of fairness, because not everyone can afford such testing. Parents should find out if school personnel will at least look at IQ test results, so that they will not spend $1000+ based on a false assumption. Of course, they may find the purely private benefits of a test to be worth the cost.
