Can they take away your disability payments if you score well on the wram mcmi mmpi & other iq and psychological tests? i have paranoid schizophrenia

No: Honesty is the best policy regarding a psychological evaluation submitted for SSI. These tests don't "diagnose" by themselves. A psychologist will not look at your individual responses, but will look at the pattern of results. If you are dishonest (faking bad) that could be detected by the tests. The IQ testing mainly just verifies you are smart enough to take a valid test.

No not necessarily: Just because you have schizophrenia doesn't mean that you should be academically impaired or academically challenged. And if they decide to stop your benefits I would challenge their justifications in doing so.
