It's not a WISC score, it's from the Otis Lemon Intelligence Test. STA uses the OLIT as their admission test.
From Beauvoir apps they expect to see at least a 120, but will accept a lower score depending on other criteria.
Question for St. Albans parents out there with an average or above average child (strictly meaning less than 120 WISC) - does your child struggle with the work required by St. Albans? I know motivation factors into what kids (and people in general) are capable of accomplishing. But I'm wondering (if DS is fortunate to get accepted) if we're setting him up for failure or creating a situation where he may be stressed out or lacking in confidence. Any thoughts?

That's right same test. Some refer to it as a group intelligence test.

So these schools routinely place at STA?
I can't speak for NPS, but I do know that St. Pats does place quite a few boys at STA every year. This past year, I know 5 were accepted and I believe all 5 matriculated.
For which grade(s)?
