[quote=Anonymous]for D.C. private, depends on the age...those school require WISC-IV for younger kids and SSAT for older kids. Entry years are 4,6,7,9 grades. Start studying a year in advance for SSAT -buy study guide or hire an experienced tutuor. Your kid needs to be able to learn at an accelerated pace as most of these schools teach a grade level or two ahead. Go to the open houses with your kid to get a feel for the school culture to see which one is a good fit. Have kid take SSAT in November, schedule interviews, apply to a couple of schools. Practice interviewing skills w/your child and give plenty of encouragement....it can be stressful, however, we framed it for kid as an adventure where the schools were competing to offer a slot. Child got accepted to several and is really happy at new school this fall- parents and kids are welcoming and education is top notch.[/quote]
