Welcome to the
George Mason University
Cognitive Assessment Program!

 

To assure high standards of consistent quality Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is recommending George Mason University as a quality provider of group and individual intellectual assessments that can be submitted to the FCPS gifted and talented program. Our mission is to administer the tests designated by FCPS in an efficient and standardized manner, while ensuring that the testing experience is comfortable and appropriate for children and their guardians.


FCPS accepts results from either group or individually-administered tests as part of the qualification process for gifted and talented services.


Group
assessments tend to be more affordable and efficient because they are given in small groups, and you will receive results in a one or two-page automated report. If you would like an appointment to review group testing results, you may call 703-993-4200 to request an appointment at an additional charge.


Individual assessments include a parent and child interview and intelligence test, as well as an interpretive session in which assessment results are explained. You will also receive a written report of the results of the assessment. Individually-administered tests of academic achievement are also available through the GMU Cognitive Assessment Program.
