I don’t agree that it’s a weird take at all, I’m not sure how often they adjust the test based on age, but my situation is an example. My child took the last available date to test which was February 3rd. we are currently wait listed at #2 for our first choice. Late testing was offered in early April I believe, my child is 5, and has rapidly advanced since February 3rd and has been now reading full sentences and doing basic math since March. We’re being told no offers until the waitlist is adjusted for the late testers. So those who tested late had the opportunity to have extra time for their child to prepare or just continue to learn. And still be considered for the same spots on the waitlist as those who met the original cutoff date. So there is a possibility than an offer that could have gone to my child will go to someone who had the option to wait and test later whereas we had no idea that was even an option.
Unless the test/Evalution was drastically changed to one far more difficult for a 5 year old from the one administered to my child 2 months earlier then this is completely unfair. Somehow I doubt the evaluation was changed months after 2 months.
I find this quite unfair as we chose the last appointment that was available (February) to give our daughter as much time to develop and prepare, in late march after seeing how quickly she advanced in reading and math since she completed her evaluation for kindergarten we would joke that if only we had a couple more weeks. She would have had the opportunity to score much higher. Now we’re seeing that we have to wait for parents who applied and had their child take the assessment during a much later date, and their scores will place their child in the current waitlist and possibly knock down the children who took the assessment during the original window, and some of those children could be one waitlist spot away from getting into their top choice. This does not seem right.
