[quote=Anonymous]We are moving to Fairfax County this summer from a small but very good township-based public school system in NJ. I have a rising sixth-grade DS and a rising third-grade DD. There aren't any AAP/G-T programs available in our current school system, although the kids are differentiated into basic-intermediate-advanced for subjects such as math starting in elementary. DS had a WISC-IV as part of a comprehensive set of tests for attention issues three years ago, and is extremely good at math, so we have some basis for thinking that his scores on the WISC-IV would be quite high if he scores as well this time around as he did last time. No idea how DD will do -- she too is very good at math.

Question: is it worthwhile doing any of the other individual tests besides the WISC-IV such as the Stanford-Binet, or should we just stick with the WISC-IV? We are going through a private psychologist, so it's probably more cost-effective just to go ahead and get any and all tests done at once.

Thanks![/quote]
