There is no evidence that that any licensed psychologist is cooking the scores.


You think the tester who received hundreds of dollars per testing would say yes I was influence by money?


If they got caught, they would lose the license. They are not going to risk that for $400.



So there's your answer OP. AAP slots are not for sale. If you wish to appeal or parent refer, you can pay the cost of a private test, the costs of which are easily determined by asking those who administer them.


Clearly, which is why it is a hypothetical question.

There are other reasons for a WISC to be administered.


Yes, but this isn't what the post is about.

I'm not familiar with how tests to support an appeal work. Are they not multiple choice like the ones at school? What gives you the idea that desired results have a price tag? Isn't payment made up front?

If you could have paid a fee to have guaranteed admission, what is the most you would have paid? I just learned today how much IQ tests are. My DD was admitted without prepping and without outside testing but realizing how much people are paying for these things, is there a cap above which you wouldn't pay to have your child admitted?
