Answer: 3. "All students take achievement tests, but children who take the WISC meet individually with a psychologist when there is a question about their academic work."

Explanation:

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) developed by David Wechsler, is a test designed to show differences between school tests and level of intelligence in children aged 6 to 16. It can also be used as part of a group of tests to assess learning difficulties or intellectual ability.  

For example, if two children aged 8 and 12 take test and get similar results, the 8-year old child has a better intellectual ability than the 12 year old.
