Your Best Choice For Expert Child IQ Testing

What You Need To Know About IQ Tests And Private School Admissions

Most prestigious private schools in the Bay Area, including Harker School, Helios School, and Nueva School, require cognitive assessments (IQ tests) as part of their admission process for younger students.

Dr. Estupinian provides both WPPSI-IV and WISC-V cognitive assessments that meet the requirements for all three schools. These standardized tests evaluate your child's intellectual functioning across multiple cognitive domains and provide the comprehensive assessment report that private schools need to make informed admission decisions.

Special Note: Dr. Estupinian holds preferred psychologist status with Harker School, where she has over a decade of experience conducting assessments for their applicants. While she provides the same high-quality testing services for Helios and Nueva School families, her extensive Harker experience gives her unique insights into what these competitive schools look for in cognitive profiles.

The cognitive assessment typically takes 60-90 minutes, depending on your child's age, attention span, and individual needs.

Dr. Estupinian creates a comfortable, child-friendly environment and provides breaks as needed throughout the session. The assessment is designed to feel like engaging activities and puzzles rather than a stressful test. Your child will work one-on-one with Dr. Estupinian, ensuring they receive the individual attention and support they need to demonstrate their true abilities.

Whether your child is applying to Harker, Helios, Nueva, or other private schools, Dr. Estupinian adapts her approach to each child's unique personality and needs, making the experience positive and encouraging.

You will receive your child's comprehensive cognitive assessment report within 5-7 business days after the testing session.
