I know it is a long shot to post this question here, but I thought I'd give it a try.

We are thinking of applying to several of the regional gifted centers in Chicago, but I'd appreciate a little BTDT info from any local moms who have done this with their children. What is involved in the testing? I just can't imagine what is involved in testing a 4.5 year old. Do children have to be reading in order to take the test? Do you have to take a different test for each school, or can you test once and apply to as many as you want?

TIA,
Hallie
