My oldest's IQ testing was done under similar circumstances. We had taken her out near the end of 1st grade to homeschool after most of the year spent being yelled at by her teacher who kept telling her she was lazy and who color coded the kids by performance and behavior. Dd was a wreck and had been telling me that she wished she had never been born and wanted to be dead. Other parents were calling me to tell me she was sitting at her desk in school crying, which is very uncharacteristic for her b/c she is very private about her feelings in public.

We did the testing a few months later in 2nd grade and she completely shut down on the block design test refusing to complete it when pushed to work fast. Her scores in the PRI ranged from an 8 (block design -- 25th percentile) to 19 (99.9th percentile). She, too, does not qualify for DYS and we haven't bothered retesting b/c, although I do believe she is more able than her IQ scores indicated, I don't know that she is a DYS level kid.

Yours may be, though. As Dottie said, the EXPLORE scores might give you an idea as to whether retesting in her instance would be worth it.
