[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand your question. There are no special programs that are neither in bounds, test in, or lottery. They are all one or the other.[/quote]

Several application-only merit-based HS programs are not a restricted lottery like CES etc.[/quote]

And they all require tests, except possibly the Visual Arts Center at Einstein.[/quote]

There are no specific tests for these programs. They rely on grades derived from tests and standardized tests the county already uses. Studens also have to submit a personal statement of sorts.[/quote]

tests are tests[/quote]

I agree. Also, I think a one-time high-stakes test isn't the best way to identify kids who will be successful in these programs. Especially ones like CoGat, which some families hire outside test prep for, and just spending time understanding the question format can significantly improve scores. At least all kids become familiar with tests like MAP.[/quote]
