Academic Year 2018-2019 COMMON

Academic Year 2018-2019 COMMON ADMISSION TESTING PROGRAM (For students applying to 3rd and 4th grades in September 2018) Brunswick School, Sacred Heart Greenwich Greenwich Academy, The Greenwich Country Day School King School, The Stanwich School, Whitby School

Overview Many families in the Greenwich/Stamford area apply to more than one local independent school. Because all the schools in the program screen applicants using sections of the Educational Records Bureau, CTP 4, a common testing program eliminates multiple testing for the applicant and provides families greater flexibility in scheduling.

Standardized testing is only one aspect of the admissions process. Consideration is also given to school records, school visits and family interviews. Observation of younger children and other special evaluations may also be required depending upon the school and grade level.

Regardless of which school serves as the test center, parents may request test results to be sent to any independent school in the program.

Scheduling Tests are offered 7 Saturdays between November 4, 2017 and January 20, 2018. We encourage applicants to take this required test as early as possible to provide make-up time in the event of unanticipated illness or a weather cancellation. Please check each school’s application deadlines, allowing 15 days for ERB to send test results to the schools.

Description of Tests Applicants will be given sections of the Educational Records Bureau, CTP 4. These assessments include achievement tests in reading comprehension and mathematics. The tests are objective and multiple-choice in format. In addition, students will be assigned a writing sample on a given topic.

Procedures Please arrive at the school where the test is being given between 8:30 a.m. and 8:45 a.m. Testing begins promptly at 9:00 a.m. No student will be admitted to the test after 8:45 a.m. No one may leave the classroom until the entire test is completed. Total testing time is approximately 2 hours. Rest periods are scheduled between tests.

Applicants should bring a pleasure book to read in the event that some open time exists between sections of the tests. Each school provides a break and snack during the morning. Students are welcome to bring a special (nut–free) snack to eat, if desired, during the break.

To register, please use the registration form on the attached page and return it to the school where the testing will take place. A registration fee of $75.00 must accompany the registration form. Please make your check payable to the school where the testing will take place.
