TEST PREPARATION IN NYC:NYC Gifted & Talented Exam

For children with exceptional academic ability, New York City’s Gifted & Talented programs offer excellent specialized support. Located across the city both in dedicated schools and as specialized programs within public schools, these programs help to ensure students take full advantage of their gifts and fulfill their potential. To qualify for G&T programs in NYC, students from kindergarten to third grade must sit the NYC G&T test, which comprises verbal and non-verbal measures of ability, and score 90 or above.

At CATES, prep for the NYC G&T exam begins with familiarizing students with the types of questions and tasks that the exam presents. Although the test, which is untimed, can be less intimidating than other standardized tests, having this prior experience plays a crucial role in making young students feel more comfortable with the testing experience, which in turn leads to stronger performance. As our tutors work with your child, they will diagnose any individual obstacles, whether cognitive or emotional, and prescribe exercises and new learning habits to encourage growth in academic and test-taking skills.
