The DOE used to used the same SB as Hunter. Hunter is the Hunter Elementary school for the gifted at Hunter Teachers College. There are 3 gifted elementary schools in NYC, besides a bunch of G&T.
But some government issue. They have to use the OLSAT now. No SB results allowed. Hence, my question of advocacy. You test at 4. I do not know which SB test is being used at this point. The school decides.
But this OLSAT business seems a bit ridiculous. I know a child that scored 87th percentile last year on the SB and got into the city gifted school. The OLSAT results were not correlated at all.
