Dottie, Thanks for your help!
Thanks.. I guess I should have stated that the tester's master work was in education not psychology. I think she had completed her masters and was working on a phd. I used her based on a friend who knew her from courses she took at the university.
However, after reading Mamasandmore's post, I realized that I didn't think to ask about testing times etc. I do know that I kept thinking during testing it was a long time for a Kindergartner to be sitting still. I'm not sure what part of the test came first. I know the second test took the longest. The first test was done in a hour and a half.
The other kicker to all of this was after all the tests were complete, the tester called us back into her office and said that DS was most assuredly gifted with very strong verbal and math skills (I'm not sure if she based this on subtest or WIATT). She said he was answering 7th grade math (I'm not sure what test that was a part of). Yet, when we got the report it seemed to contradict what she had told us. Like I said in orginal post it was extremely frustrating because I couldn't reach her to discuss the report. In her defense, I know she was traveling with the department in the April and then I'm sure she had end of the year..finals etc.
I am sure I'm coming across as slamming the tester . That is not my intent. I can't say even with the most qualified tester the outcome would/will be any different. That is why I haven't fully committed to a second test. I was just curious if the service I received was normal.
