There are many here that can offer more expertise than I, but here's my thoughts.

If you think your child is up for this testing and will not upset them go for it. IQ test at a good age (I think that is 6) and find a tester with gifted expertise.

My question would be do you think the situation can change? My DD was challenged in preschool and K but when she got to 1st grade she was not.

Usally testing takes time, as does advocacy. Sometimes being underchallenged can really effect kids self esteem and socially. I saw this last year, when they were not keeping him busy enough. The school said he has AHDA behavior probally due to boredom. I think it is better to be ahead on this especially if $ is not an issue.
