They said that they usually recommend waiting, but that since we plan to homeschool and she'll be technically a Kindergartner in the fall it might make sense to get some more information now.
Since you are homeschooling, I see no reason in the world to test if they don't have the capasity to do the SB-IV. In other words, there is no point in having her do the WPPSI as it won't give you the info you need. If they can't do a SB-IV, I would make the appointment for the week after her 6th birthday.
So how ARE you going to homeschool her without knowing her readiness levels? It isn't easy, but I would choose a Math and Spelling that you like and start giving 'end of year' tests. For reading she is most likely already choosing books at her own level, and you can use them as a jumping off point for teaching writing using the '6+1 traits' curriculum. For Science and History I'd get Middle School level text books anyway and just travel at the speed and depth that feels comfortable.
The only test that I know that gives any reasonable help in answering the question 'what should I be teaching this child' is NWEA's MAP, which I think is availible to homeschoolers through a Florida co-op.
