TAG testing for private school kid what do you bring

[Anonymous]

I am going to have my child test for TAG and she is private. Do i take anything to testing site? Can they have a snack while testing or break? Can the parent stay or do we leave?

We are new to the county and just learning about how all this works. What part of the year is testing done and how young can child be to start testing? How long is the test? How much does testing cost? Can the test be taken more than once (once a year, for example) ?

You asked what kids can bring to the TAG testing. I think a couple of pencils and a snack. That's it.

They want parents to stay during the test. They'll say this during a little welcome talk on the day of test.
