Academic and School Entry Assessment

Administering expert academic or school readiness assessment to Sydney children

At Comprehensive Psychology we provide intellectual (IQ) and academic ability assessments and various educational testing to assist families deciding about school readiness or planning for their children's academic future. We can arrange an educational assessment for your child if requested by his/her school or when formal assessment results are needed to apply for eligibility to selected educational programs. Our academic assessment results and reports can help determine whether a child is ready for school entry and can assist applications for extension and gifted and talented programs.

On the following pages we describe the concepts of intelligence, achievement ability and school readiness and the ways these constructs are assessed.

INTELLECTUAL ABILITY
Our educational psychologist can help parents better understand the construct of intelligence and its measurement, the different components of intellectual ability and how they are categorised. We also cover adaptive skills related to intelligence and the approaches to testing intellectual ability. We briefly describe the stability of intelligence over time and discuss some practical issues related to IQ testing.

GIFTEDNESS
We describe the construct of giftedness and its measurement. We explain the different views of giftedness and the social, emotional and behavioural characteristics of gifted children. We provide giftedness testing and offer suggestions to parents of gifted children to help them enhance their child's potential.

ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND ACHIEVEMENT ABILITY
Learn about the concept of academic achievement ability and how the potential for academic performance is measured. Here we explain the different domains of achievement ability and the relationship between test results and actual school performance.

DEVELOPMENTAL LEVEL AND SCHOOL READINESS
Our school entry assessment and school readiness assessment illustrates the principles of preschool assessment and the different developmental areas that are necessary for school entry. These include language skills, academic skills, motor skills, social/emotional skills and self-help skills.
