Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The average child’s IQ is not stable until around four years of age. It may be much later in children who were born early or who have significant health issues.

Detailed explanation-2: -These different types of intelligence show different patterns as you get older. Crystallized intelligence “averages 98 at ages 20–24, rises to 101 by ages 35–44, before declining to 100 (ages 45–54), then 98 (55–64), then 96 (65–69), then 93 (70–74), and 88 (75+), ” says Kaufman.

Detailed explanation-3: -WISC Practice Test for 7-year-olds. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) test is often used as an entrance exam for gifted and talented programs for determining cognitive strengths and weaknesses, and is individually administered, usually by a psychologist.

Detailed explanation-4: -IQ tests give reasonably effective results for children from about age four; however, scores are less reliable for preschool children than for school-age children. The only purpose for having children tested as early as age four is if parents believe their children are unusual.

Detailed explanation-5: -IQ peaks and stops increasing at around 20 years of age and then is mostly fixed for life. IQ peaks at around 20-years-old and later effort will not improve it much beyond this point, research finds.
