Admissions Testing- Cognitive Functioning

Private & Independent School Admissions Testing

Thinking about private or independent school admissions testing? These evaluations help determine whether a child has the academic skills, cognitive abilities, and behavioral readiness to thrive in a particular school environment. The results may influence admission decisions and class placements, especially for schools with advanced programs.

What to Expect During Admissions Testing

A licensed clinical psychologist will guide your child through a series of assessments designed to measure:
✔️ Logical reasoning
✔️ Memory and problem-solving skills
✔️ Language development
✔️ Processing speed and cognitive flexibility

🔹 Important Note: If your child has taken an IQ test within the past year, they may not be eligible to retest. While many schools accept prior test scores, it’s always best to confirm their specific requirements before scheduling an evaluation.

Which Test Does My Child Need?

📌 Children under 7 → Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence™-Fourth Edition (WPPSI™-IV)
