According to the Pearson web site where it can be purchased:
http://www.pearsonassessments.com/H...il.htm?Pid=015-8979-044&Mode=summarywhat's needed is what they call "Qual C", i.e.:
"Qual C: Tests with a C qualification require a high level of expertise in test interpretation, and can be purchased by individuals with:
* Licensure or certification to practice in your state in a field related to the purchase.
OR
* A doctorate degree in psychology, education, or closely related field with formal training in the ethical administration, scoring, and interpretation of clinical assessments related to the intended use of the assessment."
I saw no sign of restricting sale to people in schools, though, and that sounds most unlikely. (Why on earth would Pearson do that?! They are out to make money...) ETA: I don't mean to suggest that your tester is lying, but I do wonder if there's a miscommunication. Maybe she should try registering her qualifications on their website and ordering online?
