My son just entered public school this year and the school says they want to get him tested (cognitive and achievement) to qualify him for additional gifted services and get a better handle on how they can challenge him academically. He is currently 5 years 10 months old. I expect them to schedule testing with the district Psychologist sometime in the next month.
I am wondering if I should ask them to delay the test until he turns 6 so he can take WISC instead of WPPSI. Will the WISC give us a clearer picture than the WPPSI at this point? From my observations I would guess his weaknesses would be anything timed and anything requiring drawing.
He took the DAS-II and had abbreviated WJIV-ACH testing back when he was 4, but since that was over a year ago I guess they want to do their own testing? I gave them those test results.
