Here at least in elementary it is a "circle the right answer in the booklet" test, not on the computer. My kiddo is taking it for the first time this year, but some other kids have told me its not "a big deal. Warning: sleep deprived

The newer version is computerized, but it is a grade level test. It does not continue getting harder until the child gets some wrong. It is reported to be harder than the state testing, but DD took it last year (gr 2) and she got almost every question correct and said it was super easy and a waste of time.

This is one of the private schools that does not think he is ready for 1st grade and will not yet discuss a grade skip to 1st, so I am curious to see how it pans out!!
