Inconsistent Test Results

General Question

I am 16 and I took the WAIS as a part of ADHD testing. i scored high In all areas except working memory and processing speed (which I got 113 and 105 on). Results came back negative.

I was extremely anxious while taking the test, and would frequently check over answers I was SURE about (I have OCD and GAD) and I’m convinced it lowered my score.

Overall, my IQ was measured to be 125, which I’m very pleased with, but I have taken IQ tests through school before and usually scored closer to 130+, so this score seems unusual to me.

Considering my age and the situation, would it be reasonable to retake the test in a few years? Here are my scores for reference:

VCI: 129

FRI: 120

QII: 125

VSI: 130+

WMI: 113

PSI: 105 (this I’m most concerned with because I usually get a very high score on this (120+), im totally convinced its due to anxiety, which I’m only now receiving treatment for)

thoughts?
