It usually takes less than one month before an IQ report is prepared after the assessment is done.

Student and their parents will receive the IQ report on the campus of HKAGE at Sha Kok Estate, and our psychologist will explain the contents of the IQ report to them in person.

As the IQ report belongs to students and their parents, it is the sole decision of students or their parents to give you a copy of the IQ report. HKAGE could not give a copy of the IQ report to anyone.
