Demystifying Gifted and Talented Testing

posted by Karen Quinn, The Testing Mom - July 27th, 2011

Some school systems and state departments of education offer informational sessions for parents with regard to gifted test methods and the specific assessment tests that are used in gifted and talented testing for kids. Unfortunately, most parents don’t have access to such resources, which makes the prospect of their kids going through gifted testing something that illicit skepticism at best, and profound nervousness in many.

There are many third party vendors that have begun offering informational sessions for parents on gifted tests for kids in order to fill the gap left by school systems. Many parents also look for resources like gifted and talented sample test or practice test vendors online for better preparing their children for actual exams.
