This New York City Gifted & Talented Assessment Program Practice Test for Kindergarten entry will help prepare your child for this new entry test and demystify the test content. The New York City Department of Education has implemented significant changes to the Gifted & Talented (G&T) admissions test for the 2013/2014 admissions year. Students wishing to apply to G&T programs must now take a test that consists of Non-Verbal and Verbal tests vastly different from previous years. The Nonverbal test measures reasoning and problem-solving skills through Pattern Completion, Reasoning By Analogy, Serial Reasoning, and Spatial Visualization Question Types. This test is worth 2/3 of your child’s total score. The Verbal test measures verbal comprehension and verbal reasoning through Aural Reasoning, Following Directions, and Arithmetic Reasoning Question Types. This test is worth 1/3 of your child’s total score. Just like the official New York City Gifted & Talented test, this practice test consists of Non-Verbal and Verbal tests with questions structured and presented similar to the actual test. Our Performance Guidelines will help identify your child’s strong and weak areas to best prepare for test day. Aristotle Circle's goal is to give parents choices and expert advice to make informed decisions. In addition to practice tests, we offer test preparation materials, child assessments, tutoring, and expert advisory services to help navigate the admissions and education process, from pre-school to post-graduate level.

Our Quantitative Comparisons/Reasoning Workbook provides extensive practice for students (grades 2 & 3)so they can become accustomed to the quantitative questions found on the Elementary SCATTM, InViewTM and CTP-4TM (Level 3) assessments. Our Quantitative Comparisons/Reasoning Workbook contains strategies and practice for the Quantitative Comparisons section of the Elementary SCATTM and the Quantitative Reasoning section of the InViewTM.

It is entirely possible that a younger child would excel with the higher-level questions, or that a student in the upper grades would struggle with the earlier-level questions. A student's performance on these questions depends greatly on their vocabulary, exposure to analogies (which are not typically taught in school), and other student-specific variables.
