[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, yes IQ can vary based on tester and of course there is a range where if the IQ is 80 due to standard of error it might fall anywhere from say a little lower to a little higher. Also, the rapport matters. My kid's IQ varied greatly from the county to private. The private tester was peppy, gave more breaks with exercise and he came after a good night's sleep and a big breakfast. At school he was dragged out of PE which he needed and other classes he likes and it felt rushed getting him to the testing room and getting him back. The actual report mixed up his name a few times and percentiles were off. For example if one standard score was say 110 and another was 90 and another was 80, the 80 had a higher percentile than the standard score of 90. I pointed it out and she corrected, but I do wonder if they were his scores.

Also, I took the same approach as another poster-it is not the schools job to make sure my kid got everything he needed. I jumped in as needed to help with studying, executive functioning, etc. We wanted to standard diploma not certificate for the most job prospects and turns out he will be in good shape for a 4 year college.[/quote]

Agree that my child’s school report was riddled with errors, which makes it hard to trust the accuracy of the report. Were the results hers or were they the results of the child whose name they typed into several of the paragraphs?[/quote]

I will never know because nobody will admit it, but scores were higher with private tester. Keep in mind conditions were also ideal and my child is sensitive to mood and the tester was cheerful and patient and have more breaks.[/quote]
