[quote=Anonymous]Hi - My child took the WPPSI-III last year, did well (99 overall, not 99x3). He was waitlisted everywhere we'd applied and ended up being shut out. We went through the process again this year and took the same test as part of the application process. My question to any psychologists out there is why this retest is needed? I'm not a statistician but from what I can figure out the test is considered 'highly reliable' and I take that to mean that year -to-year the results will be nearly the same. Is this correct? If it is correct, then what is the logic of forcing parents to spend hundreds of dollars on a retest that will provide no new information to the schools to which we've reapplied? Thank you..[/quote]
