I have a few questions for 1st grade SEES prep and testing. I know that most RGC and Classical programs start with Kindergarten, and only a few start with 1st grade. I really enjoyed the program I put my kiddo in, so I decided to wait to test for first grade so that they can finish their Kindergarten program.
1. Test Prep
From my understanding 1st grade students have to test both for RGC and classical separately. What are some test prep that people used that they felt like were successful with RGC? Classical seems straight forward but I will also take any and all advice.
2. Testing
Did you decide to wait to test your kiddo till the last test date or did you just take the first test date you could? For those who retest every year do you find it better to wait? What does retesting in the same year look like if possible?
3. Waitlist
For those who were waitlisted, how long did you wait to accept a school until you realized you were not going to come off of the waitlist of your school of choice? What is the latest a school will tell a family that they are off the waitlist?
4. Admission
I see a lot of people have said that they test their kiddos every year. Do you all really apply to these schools for non-entering grades? When I look at admissions for schools (for RGC & Classical), it seems like no one applied to non-entering grades and no one was accepted. Just trying to get a feel of the reality of waiting to test for first grade instead of Kindergarten. Is it even worth our time applying to schools that have K entry>
Thanks for reading my long question. I appreciate any advice
