[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Testing just isn't that important.

For the lower grades, you can't really prep for the WISC/WPPSI. It's an IQ test done by a psychologist/diagnostician. Following the testing center's instructions to get enough sleep and eat before the test is enough.

SSAT/ISEE testing usually isn't required until 5th or 6th grade. Prepping depends on your child's experience with standardized tests. If they're used to bubble answer sheets and score well, it probably isn't necessary. If they aren't used to it, then it's just an issue of whether you want to spent the time, money, and aggravation to prep.[/quote]

It's been a number of years, but I think testing still matters for the selective schools.  Though you can't prep, the selection of the right tester is critically important.  For those in the know, there a testers with a track record of getting students into select schools.  Ask around among those already in your target school who do not have children competing for a spot.  Do not believe anything you hear from fellow parents competing for slots. [/quote]
