DNAinfo New York has a quiz to see if you're smarter than a 4-year-old.
Some of the city's most elite private schools will soon require 4-year-olds to take a new, harder admissions test given on an iPad and designed to assess math and literacy skills.The test is less subjective than the old way of testing which had a tester.
"For example, if the question stated 'What is a mouse?' and the kid answered 'animal,' he or she would get 1 point. If the kid said 'a gray animal that is small, has a tail and likes to eat cheese,' the kid would get the full 2 points," Doruk explained.
If a child just said "animal," the tester would reply, "Tell me more," giving the child another chance to earn the full 2 points, Doruk said.I can't imagine most 4-year-olds being able to pass this test but then again this is for admission to an elite kindergarten. Good thing I went to public school.
If you're wondering how I did on the quiz I scored a 4 out of 5. Try the quiz here.
Yikes! What is this world coming to?
ReplyDeleteI don't even know! I'm glad I'm done with kindergarten though.
DeleteWHAT KIND OF MESSED UP TEST IS THAT??!?! (I did not do so well)
ReplyDelete5/5 but some of the questions were confusing/misleading due to the wording or the way the options were presented.
