The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, or WISC, asseses a child's intelligence and offers an IQ score. The verbal exam is given to children ages 6 to 17 and, in addition to the IQ scores, offers individual scores in processing speed, perceptual reasoning, verbal comprehension and working memory. This exam is often used to help diagnose learning disabilties, as well as for admission to private schools and gifted education programs. Learn more about the WISC with our WISC Test Guide and in our interviews with test experts Tim Sitar and Robin MacFarlane, PhD.
