GuestHi parents.
I am a parent with a daughter in elementary school. I would like to learn from you about what you did for your kids throughout elementary school that helped them get into an AC? Also helpful would be info about if you were part of a classical or RGC program. Thank you!

GuestAlso following, but what I heard from others, it is the consistency that matters. People started getting additional targeted help (workbooks, tutoring) during the summer before fall testing and did this very diligently and consistently (e.g., tutor once a week with targeted 2-hour homework), worked on their gaps, etc.

Guest@sean You hit the nail on the head. Starting early is key, as well as consistency! This is the strategy criticalthinkingchild.com recommends to parents along with micro-assessments along the way.

GuestI am a parent of a daughter who is about to enter 6th grade who has had a tutor since last year. Outside of consistency were there any specific workbooks, practice sheets that you all felt best prepared your kids for the SEES exams?
