What We’ll Be Discussing
During this live question-and-answer session, Karen Quinn, The Testing Mom, and Michael McCurdy, NYC Gifted & Talented parent expert and co-founder of TestingMom.com, will answer parents’ most frequently asked questions about gifted testing and school admissions.
Topics include:
- I haven’t started preparing my child for the OLSAT. What should I focus on now?
- How does speaking multiple languages affect gifted testing?
- Should my child be tested in one language versus another?
- My child is shy. How can I help them feel comfortable with an unfamiliar tester?
- What if my child has speech or fine motor delays?
- How should we prepare during the last few days before testing?
- Could a child be disqualified if a tester believes they’ve been “prepped”?
- How long do the OLSAT, WPPSI, ERB, and Stanford-Binet assessments take?
- When are results typically released, and can parents review the testing afterward?
Why Parents Love These Teleseminars
One of the best parts of these live events is hearing questions directly from parents who are going through the same process.
Whether you’re applying to the NYC Gifted & Talented Program for the first time or you’ve been through school admissions before, every year brings new questions and concerns. Our goal is to help families better understand the testing process, reduce anxiety, and focus on building the reasoning and learning skills that children need to succeed.
We’ll also discuss common misconceptions about gifted testing, what schools are really looking for, and practical ways parents can help children feel confident without creating unnecessary pressure.
We hope you’ll join us for another informative evening. As always, our mission is to help parents feel more prepared and children feel more confident as they approach gifted testing.
We look forward to talking with you on Thursday, January 13th!
