Kweller Prep is a
leader in Anderson Test Prep
2018 STATS: 800 students were invited to take the Anderson test in the 5th grade. 12 students received an acceptance offer. 4 students from Kweller Prep were accepted into Anderson middle. 4 students from Kweller Prep were also waitlisted. 4/12 students accepted to Anderson attended Kweller Prep. NOTE: Anderson does not release its entrance exam but does share that it is a tough math test of about 20 questions with no multiple choice options. The test is above grade level and they are looking to admit those who not only answer correctly but also show work best. There is also an essay component. For years, the essay was based on a reflection of a passage compared with a poem. In 2018, the essay was a personal essay, similar to the Hunter essay. For privacy reasons, we cannot detail more about this test. Students interested in taking the Anderson test should score high 4's on their state tests, have nearly perfect attendance, and list Anderson as their first choice on the middle school application. Congratulations to the Kweller Prep students accepted to Anderson, one of the best middle schools in NYC! |

About
Gifted and Talented Admissions Tests
The NYC Department of Education uses
two assessments to determine if a child is eligible to apply for a G&T
program: nonverbal test items from the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test
(“NNAT”) and verbal test items from the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test
(“OLSAT”). Assessing children in both nonverbal and verbal domains provides a
balanced look at each child’s intellectual abilities. Exams are administered
by New York State certified, New York City teachers who are trained to
administer both assessments. The nonverbal assessment is administered first,
followed by the verbal assessment.
All items are presented in a
multiple-choice format. The Nonverbal Assessment (NNAT) The nonverbal G&T
assessment is designed to measure nonverbal reasoning skills and general
problem solving ability without the use of language. Tasks such as completing
patterns, sequencing, and connecting ideas are included because they have
been shown to be a valid measure of problem-solving abilities, regardless of
a student’s primary language, socioeconomic background, culture, or prior
academic experience. Children will be tested on their ability to solve
problems and to demonstrate an understanding of relationships. There are four types of nonverbal test questions:
Pattern Completion, Reasoning by Analogy, Serial Reasoning, and Spatial
Visualization.
