I would definitely make sure if he's ever retested that the testing be done in smaller segments. Some children at 6 just can't sit still long enough to do it all at once. Separating out works out much better for them.


He fidgety to begin with, but the problems they were having was, he refused to do any more testing if he had to think about the answer. If he perceives the question to be difficult, he will shut down and say "I don't know" or "I don't want to"
