I'll definitely look into it more thoroughly next time, and chose a tester who will provide some insights as well as the score. FYI, we asked the district's gt department which local testers wrote good/helpful reports. They gave us two or three names. Since we didn't ask directly for a tester recommendation (something they cannot/will not give), we actually got more information from them with this approach.
