She said the runner took her straight to the tester, so it didn’t sound like she waited long if at all.
I don’t know that testing time correlates at all whatsoever to performance, but will note for additional anecdotal evidence that there was a massive range of times from what I saw. Some kids were back in 20 minutes and some were back in 50+. I can’t really tell their ages well so can’t say if there was a relationship between age and test time.
I am kind of kicking myself for asking what questions she was asked because now it just makes me MORE curious as to what was actually on the exam! One question she relayed seems to have no right answer (of course, this assumes she retold it correctly!).
They were running pretty much on schedule, which was awesome! My daughter only waited 10 minutes past her appointment time, which I consider “on time.”
Interesting about the runner vs. teacher taking the kids. We had people bringing the kids to and from the testing rooms, and they weren’t the testers. I had assumed this was SOP so parents can’t heckle and/or bribe the testers 🙂
@bpmommy: Makes sense. I’d be nervous to post anything my daughter told me about the test regardless, only because the information she tells us changes every five minutes and I don’t want to mislead anyone based on shaky reporting from a 5 year old! I definitely wish there was more that was public about it, though!
My daughter (turning 5 this month) was gone about an hour and fifteen minutes. She definitely did note that the beginning questions were really easy. She (like all the other kids that came back into the waiting room while I was there) was most excited about getting a sticker…
My daughter took the test today. Curious why sharing anything would give an advantage, though? It was my impression that the questions are changed and the test is adjusted for age.
We haven’t taken the test yet, but we’ve liked TestingMom. My kid thinks the practice questions are engaging and actively asks me to do them. I think it is worth it just to get your kid interested, if nothing else!
