IQ is skull measuring nonsense. how good you are at taking a standardised test is in fact not a remotely good "measure of intelligence". if you care about education you should discard the notion of IQ.
Not even that, how good you are at taking a standardised test on a given day. We also know people who are traumatised by poverty or individual adverse life events have lower success rates on these tests, making them even more useless at best and vicious at worst.
Scores are stable over time. This can be determined by statistics. It's called test-retest reliability.
