At Global Education Testing, we deliver international standard psychoeducational assessments for students attending Kings College Riyadh. Our services are tailored to meet the specific needs of students in international schools and are recognized worldwide.
If your child is currently enrolled at Kings College, or preparing to apply, a private psychoeducational evaluation may be recommended in the following scenarios:
School-Initiated Concerns: Teachers and academic staff at Kings College may request an assessment when a student is not performing to their full potential, despite adequate teaching and support. These evaluations help determine whether learning differences such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, or ADHD are contributing factors, and whether accommodations or interventions are appropriate.
Admissions Requirements: During the admissions process, Kings College’s team may request a comprehensive evaluation for new applicants whose previous school reports indicate the need for additional academic or behavioral support.
Parental Observations: Parents are often the first to recognize when something is not quite right. Whether your child is struggling academically, finding it difficult to focus, or experiencing emotional challenges, a full psychoeducational assessment can bring clarity and direction. Our evaluations are conducted by British and American registered Educational Psychologists with extensive experience in international school settings.
University Applications & Extra Time for Exams: For Kings College students preparing to apply to competitive universities in the US, UK, Canada, or Australia, formal documentation of a learning profile is essential when applying for exam accommodations. Our reports meet and exceed the standards required for extra time and other exam support in international qualifications such as the IB, IGCSE, A-Levels, SAT, and ACT.

Why Families at Kings College Riyadh Need Internationally Recognized Psychoeducational Assessments
International school families at Kings College often face serious limitations when relying on local educational psychologists. Most local assessments do not follow globally accepted frameworks like the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) or ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases), and tend to focus narrowly on traditional learning issues such as reading or maths delays.
What’s often missing is a comprehensive evaluation of emotional wellbeing, factors like anxiety, executive functioning challenges, or school-based stress that significantly affect a student’s academic performance.
This can lead to partial or inaccurate diagnoses that lack the international credibility required for exam accommodations or university applications abroad.
Assessments from local practitioners are frequently rejected by exam boards and admissions offices in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia, forcing families to repeat the entire process.
For globally mobile families at Kings College, a full international-standard psychoeducational evaluation is essential. Our assessments are conducted by British and American registered psychologists, follow DSM-5 and ICD-11 guidelines, and are accepted by all major exam boards and international universities.
King’s College Riyadh brings the excellence of a leading British independent school to the heart of Saudi Arabia, offering a rigorous UK curriculum grounded in academic tradition, pastoral care, and global citizenship. As a partner school of King’s College Taunton in the UK, it provides a deeply enriched learning experience from Early Years through to Senior School, preparing students for success in GCSEs, A-Levels, and top global universities.
At Global Education Testing – Riyadh, we work closely with families from King’s College who are navigating the challenges of a demanding academic pathway. Our private, internationally recognised psychoeducational evaluations are designed for students who are capable, curious, and motivated—but who may be struggling in ways that aren’t always visible. Whether it’s dyslexia, ADHD, processing speed issues, or executive functioning difficulties, we help families identify the underlying reasons a bright child might be underperforming or working twice as hard as their peers.
Parents often seek us out when their child seems to hit a wall with timed assessments, written expression, or organisation—despite obvious intelligence and engagement. These difficulties are particularly common during the transition into exam-focused years, and a professional educational assessment can provide the clarity and documentation needed to move forward with confidence.
Our evaluations are conducted by female, British-trained educational psychologists, with full understanding of the UK curriculum and exam board expectations. Reports are written to meet the formal requirements of Cambridge International, Pearson Edexcel, and AQA, and can be submitted to apply for:
- Extra time in exams
- Separate or quiet exam settings
- Reader/scribe accommodations
- Access arrangements for GCSE and A-Level assessments
- Support services at UK and international universities
We also specialise in dyslexia assessments, memory and processing speed profiling, and comprehensive psychological testing that supports both academic and emotional wellbeing.
Most importantly, all testing is 100% private and confidential. Only parents decide if results are shared with the school or used in university applications. Our process is respectful, culturally sensitive, and aligned with the high expectations of King’s College Riyadh families.
For students at King’s College, academic excellence is a shared goal between home and school. Our role is to ensure every learner has the tools, strategies, and support they need to reach their full potential—through school, university, and beyond.
