My third grade DD8 will be taking the SCAT in February. We live pretty close to Hopkins and there is a camp available very close to us (Alexandria, VA) if she qualifies for CTY.

She's never taken a test in this format before and I'm wondering a) what to tell her about what to expect and b) how to make her more comfortable. She has some anxiety and is a bit of a worrier, so I am concerned that she coudl get in there and freak out a little.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
