It's not a test, it's an assessment.
The IAS has a number of categories and the answers to questions receive a score. For instance a certain IQ number gets a certain score, achievement testing, whether there siblings in the skipped grade gets another score, relationship with teachers, relationship with peers, size, physical agility, all get scored based on the answers.
I think there's a category on whether the child wants to skip, what the teachers recommend in terms of a skip, etc. And the answers all get a numerical score. (If the child doesn't want to skip, it's assigned a lower number.)
Then, based on the total numerical score, there are (I think) four categories "excellent candidate" "good candidate," ... and I don't know the name of the bottom two which basically mean "don't skip."
