I read elsewhere that it was a contractual thing - they made a deal for the test for LDs and then did something else but was stuck with the contract through this year and so had to use it for something so why not gifted! Not sure if that's just rumor or not. But the other rumor supports it - apparently next year will be a different test - upgraded OLSAT or just a new vendor entirely

The whole thing has made me quite a conspiracy theorist wink - I am convinced that they are actually ranking within this so called lottery system because the lottery isn't public. I am not sure if my DS or tracey's would benefit from that, but it has to be better than the lunacy of qualifying but not getting a seat!
