Unless you feel you need the lengthy report, consult and different assessments, try asking if the psych offers a "test score only" option. When I first started calling around, I was getting the $1500+ quotes, until a very nice receptionist asked what I needed them for and told me that they can do just a test for significantly less. We paid $165 for the WISC-IV with a 4 page report. There was no consult or explanation beyond what was in the report, but honestly, I can't imagine what they would have told us that we haven't picked up from this board and Hoagies.
Our achievement testing was done through a local tester who does it for the homeschooling community, since annual testing is required by the state. We use the WJ-III, pay $85 and get the scores right then. You also might be able to find someone at a local tutoring center.
