I Am Smart Enough to Get into a New York Kindergarten
I am! I am smart enough to get into a New York kindergarten. Hello, Horace Mann: I’d like to introduce you to your newest kindergartener. Me! Me! I’m going to kindy!
I scored 5 out of 5 on the kindergarten assessment.

Will you be my kindergarten classmate? I’m warning you ahead of time: I am a paste-eater.

4/5. And I still can’t figure out why I got the first one wrong (the one in the screenshot) LOL
I did it! 5/5!!! Y AY!! W e’ll be classmates!
I think my answer for the first one is better than theirs. (Meanwhile I’m going, I have a BA in math! And economics! And a PhD from the top school in the world! And I still don’t get that first one. Why is the damn trapezoid right side up?)
I got 2/5 and then got cut off by my phone. We will probably be classmates. 🙂
ok, I think I get where they got the first one, but I still think my answer was fine too, and I can think of a different correct answer that wasn’t one of the choices
Nuts. And it assumes all kids should think the same. Like, I can totally see multiple answers to the first one. Which is also nuts.
I looked at number one for a full ten minutes and never figure it out because I thought the bottom line was part of the pattern and didn’t realize it was the answers! Then on number #3 I couldn’t submit my answer and go any further (the page was messed up). At least I read a comment where someone was stumped by #1 like me and someone else explained that the bottom row was the answers. Jeez. I’ll never get that ten minutes back.
4/5 and it was the last one- I had no idea what the pictures meant. Pattern recognition I can do though. Sneaky pattern recog though.
The problem with most tests is that they assume a certain amount of cultural knowledge that is shared, and that is not always the case. When I worked in Japan, one of our assessment tools was pictures of things to make ramen with, and students had to explain the process, but what about people who don’t eat/make ramen?
Whew! Five out of five… But, I think the test also told me something staggering about my self confidence… it took nearly everything I had to click the button after making my choices! I kept second-guessing myself, even though I could see it was the correct answer. I had to remind myself it was for pre-kindies! Yikes
🙁 I only got 4 out of 5… oh dear!
I got 5/5, but I think it’s kind of sad how much I second guessed myself, especially with the first one. What happened to being able to stack blocks and maybe know your colors to get into kindergarten?
I quit under the pressure.
Not going to click. No need to exacerbate my mounting “sending my kid to off kindy” anxiety. Kindergarten is the new first grade. ACK!!!!
I’m clearly stupider than I thought. Or … I overthink everything. No paste for me. 🙁
