[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are NOT allowed to retake for at least another year [/quote]

Who doesn't allow you to do it?  Who do you think is stopping people?  There is no law that prevents it and there is no tracking system.   Of course, one can have their child tested again.  Just pick a different tester, pay the fee and take the test. [/quote]

Yes. We did that after a 6 months interval. If you do your research on the WISC-V and talk to WISC-V research scientists (not the teachers who know nothing and simply parrot what they've been told, and obviously not the psychologist you are paying!), you will find that the gain your child can make if he repeats the test after a few months is insignificant. IQ tests are designed to be prep-proof - they do not test knowledge, but the way your brain works. While that may not be 100% accurate, it largely works that way.

In one of her later posts OP refers to the kid as she.

I assume when you took your DC to the examiner, they already asked where to send the scores.  If you informed them of the places you are applying to already, I am sure those test scores are sent.  It will be weird to have another examiner send ANOTHER set of test scores if you do decide to RETAKE the exam.  Not only will this raise a RED flag with admissions, they will assume you are desperate.  Not a good idea to retake just because of "average" scores.
By the way, why do all PP assume the OP is talking about their DD.  I read all the OP's post and clearly it says DC...which does not mean DD(female)[/quote][/quote]
