IQ Testing and Learning Evaluations

​​​

IQ Testing for School Admission

Many independent schools require IQ testing as part of the application process, and I understand this can feel a bit overwhelming. My goal is to make the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible for both you and your child. I offer testing designed to meet the specific reporting criteria for these programs, with a focus on creating a positive and supportive environment.

​

General Information

• Testing typically takes about 45–90 minutes, depending on your child’s age and pace.

• Plan for a 2-hour appointment to allow time for discussion before and after testing.

• You’ll have the option to receive and discuss results informally before leaving the appointment.

• The formal report is usually available the same day or the next day.

• IQ tests evaluate how your child thinks, learns, and solves problems.

• Academic skills are not directly measured. 

​

To help your child feel more at ease, I offer a brief introductory meeting. This gives you and your child the chance to visit my office, meet me in a relaxed setting, and get comfortable with the space before testing day. I will have a simple activity, like coloring, to help your child settle in. While the meeting is optional and free of charge, many families find that it helps their child feel more ready and relaxed on testing day.
