[quote=Anonymous]Yes this thread was interesting to say the least but the facts remain most private schools administer The Dial or similar (30+ min teacher given on the premises "entrance exam" to see how your child ranks among other testers) and the WPPSI (psychological/IQ administered by a psychologist usually) It makes no sense to just show up and take the test without having worked at least a practice test. Your child may know the material inside out and backwards (the stuff you have taught at home, alphabet, reading, colors, numbers, concepts and physical - catching/throwing etc that are on the test) but if the test format confuses them or makes them feel uncomfortable, they will not do as well as they potentially could. If they applying to a competitive school, an excellent test scores might be one of the deciding factors in their favor. That SMARTY TEST PREP app for the iPad that someone wrote about earlier spells it out exactly to give you a head (or few) up![/quote]
