How long is the NYC Gifted and Talented test?

For the NYC gifted and talented program the OLSAT® is 40 questions for pre-K and 60 for K-2nd grade.  Keep in mind that 88 of questions are from the Bracken School Readiness Assessment™ so the entire test is either 128 or 148 questions depending on the age and grade of the child. The test time usually takes any where from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on how fast the child answers. If your child completes the test in a short period of time, say less than 15 or 20 minutes, something didn’t go well during the test.
