Intelligence Testing
Whether you are submitting an application or appeal for the Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) Advanced Academic Program (AAP), applying to gifted programs in Loudoun, Prince William, or neighboring Northern Virginia school districts, or gathering requirements for a private school application, you may need an accurate, reliable measure of your child’s cognitive abilities.
We offer streamlined, efficient, one-on-one cognitive assessments administered by licensed psychologists in a calm, distraction-free environment in Fairfax, VA. Your results will be available to you quickly and by your deadline.
If you are applying for advanced academic programs, local gifted identification, or private school admissions, standardized intellectual assessment is often required. We provide expert, one-on-one administration of the most widely recognized and respected assessments:
-
WPPSI-IV: For children in the Preschool and Kindergarten years
-
WISC-V: For children and adolescents ages 6 to 16
Our warm, supportive testing environment is designed to help your child feel comfortable, reduce test anxiety, and perform their best. Following your session, you will receive a professional report that meets the rigorous documentation requirements of private school admissions boards, FCPS AAP Level IV committees, and other Northern Virginia gifted programs.
We provide a clear breakdown of your child’s cognitive profile—including verbal reasoning, fluid reasoning, visual spatial skills, working memory, and processing speed—to help you make informed decisions about their educational future.
Testing at a Glance
Our IQ testing is streamlined for your convenience while maintaining the highest clinical standards:
-
Initial Consultation: A brief parent interview to discuss your child’s background and confirm any specific requirements from your school district or admissions office. This is typically held upon your arrival on the testing day.
-
The Testing Session: Approximately 2 hours of 1-on-1 testing with a highly experienced licensed psychologist in a quiet, distraction-free environment at our Fairfax office. The testing involves a variety of activities such as puzzles, answering questions, and other cognitive tasks that many children find engagement. We call them "brain games."
-
Detailed Report: A formal document detailing all standard scores, percentiles, subtests, and descriptions of your child's performance suitable for private school admissions boards and AAP or gifted program committees.
-
Feedback Session: A virtual follow up conversation a week or two later to review the results of the assessment, answer your your questions, and share the report.
Flat Fee: $550 Includes all testing materials, administration, scoring, the final written report, and your follow-up feedback session.
