posted by Karen Quinn, The Testing Mom - October 12th, 2010

The past few days were super busy for TestingMom.com and all the guest speakers for our seminars for NYC gifted and talented programs, private school admissions and OLSAT, WPPSI and Bracken testing. Parents crammed into the downtown community center in Tribeca where Karen Quinn, the Testing Mom, Dr. Har, testing expert from Aristotle Circle (and a TestingMom.com expert!) and Michael McCurdy from TestingMom.com. The crowd was amazed and overwhelmed with all the information not only for parents but what their 4 year old needs to know when taking the OLSAT test and Bracken test. On Friday night we held the information session at the Poet’s House in Battery Park City where Karen Quinn, Dana Kaplan (NYC gifted and talented teacher of the year) and Michael McCudy spoke to a room full of parents. Below are some photos of the sessions during the week and a big thanks for Jo Young, Matthew Kiger and Bakley Smith for helping TestingMom.com out with these events. Also, a HUGE thanks for to the Downtown Community Center in Tribeca for giving us the space for free to use!
