[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yep. More holes than Swiss cheese. To begin with, you have to wait a year between tests. This isn't something you can just turn around and get a second, third and fourth opinion about opinion about. Second of all, testers should be charging within $100 of GMU. I've never heard of someone charging $900 for AAP testing vs $450 for GMU. That would stand out as very strange. Also, who does this, and then goes and tells people,&quot;Larla's only in AAP because I bribed a psychologist to give her a high score. She's not really gifted. I just put one over on the AAP screening committee.&quot; No one &quot;acknowledges&quot; that [b]there[/b] kid doesn't belong in AAP.

And no, I don't think it's &quot;commonplace&quot; for people to pay $900 for a WISC (vs $450 for GMU) because there are testers (PhDs, BTW) &quot;selling&quot; 140 WISCs. Even if all psychologists were completely lacking in professional ethics (and I hope that is not the case), as PP points out, FCPS does track this and flag it when one psychologist is regularly giving high WISCs out of line with the other data on kids. It's a great way to get your credentials pulled.

AAP Troll score: 2 (generally would be Troll score 4, but we expect more from AAP trolls). [/quote]

Their, not there, pp.  Hope your kid is smarter.

They did wait a year between tests.  First test done in first grade, second done in second grade.

The rest of your post is just your outrage over something that FCPS has already acknowledged is happening, thus the ongoing relationship with the medical association.  Sure, medical professionals shouldn't be unethical.  Are there also unicorns in your world?  [/quote]

I &lt;3 grammar police. Really. Please cite to where FCPS has &quot;acknowledged&quot; that it is &quot;commonplace&quot; for people to bribe private psychologists for high IQ scores. Or to any evidence of an &quot;ongoing relationship&quot; between FCPS and a &quot;medical association&quot; concerning AAP testing.  I'll wait for you to post the think showing that you haven't just created some elaborate conspiracy theory out of thin air.

And yes, in my world, most medical professionals are ethical. Does that mean I get a unicorn? [/quote]
