Did you specifically request a psychological evaluation or just request a full evaluation? There are a variety of tests that can be included. However, it is important to keep in mind what your motivation is.
If your child is having difficulty academically, there may only be a few particular tests need to determine if he qualifies for an IEP and Special Education. If there are behavioral concerns as well, there are other tests and questionairs for you.
Having said that, it appears the main concern is behavioral. Usually the school will hold a "child study" meeting (or whatever it is called in your district) to do a Functional Behavioral Analysis. This is a questionair for all those who have contact with your child, including yourself, to fill out. It tries to pinpoint triggers for behavior and recommend plans for "warding off" rages/behavior issues in the future. It also should include behavior goals and rewards.
Anytime you or the school requests testing on your son, the parent or guardian must sign off for each particular test. Irregardless of what "they typically recommend", you have the right to requests the tests you want. If you check over on the Special Education board, they can give you the specific reg if you want to quote it in your response. Good job on sending everything certified!
Good luck.
