[quote=Anonymous][quote]This is exactly what we were told in our post test meeting. And, from the examples we were given of questions on the test, I actually believe it. When I talked to a k teacher friend about our post meeting, she was extremely surprised at the information early entrance kindergartener a were expected to know. [/quote]

My DD took the test in May 2012 and did not pass. No post-test meeting, and I did not have any of the information about 7 subject areas, etc.  They took my DD away and then brought her back to me 30-40 min later, with no explanation (other than what I could glean from her).  Then 2-3 weeks later, a letter arrived in the mail stating that she would not be offered early entrance.  Granted, I did not contest this or demand more information.

I was on the fence about starting her early anyway.  She is physically big/tall and advanced, and seemed as "ready" as my older DD when she started (and quite frankly, more ready than plenty other children who we saw at orientation).  I was on the fence because I didn't see a huge interest in sitting down for longer periods of time and working on letters/etc.  Her ability to sit still and work on things like this definitely increased by a large margin over the last year.  I just hope she won't be bored when she starts this fall. [/quote]
