I know that kindergarten is the only one-on-one testing and starting with the test to enter 1st grade, kids are tested in groups. CPS website says “Students applying to grades 1-8 complete a paper-and-pencil exam in a group setting with a proctor.” Does anyone have information on how they fill out their answers? I am concerned about my child’s ability to fill out a Scantron/bubble sheet in a way that will be accurately graded by a machine, but that is what they need to do, right? Does anyone know if they have a separate bubble sheet or if the bubbles are after each question? Do we need to worry about them being able to make sure they don’t skip a line/get misaligned answers? I want to try to prepare my child for the logistics of the testing but am unsure exactly what to expect. The Scantron format seems like it will be tough for a 5 year old.

My 5 year old will be taking it too and I wondered about this also! Someone who already took it said their 5 year old was taken back in a really small group (4-5 kids) for the grade

(oops, posted early) …for the grade 1 test, and that there was an adult sitting with each kid (in addition to one lead proctor) to make sure that they filled in their test correctly. So it sounds like for the younger ones at least, they have it covered pretty well!
