Linzeek - Kindergarten testing question

hmp1

I'm starting to prepare myself for next year's K assessment testing and wondered if you had any resources to look at for what to expect. I want to work with this daycare, but haven't yet, to see if they have a program to help prep kids. Like have a mock interview so it won't seem so new and overwhelming for him. I have a copy of the application and teacher recommendation that has to be filled out but they do not give any hints as to what will be assessed. One school assessment is only 20 minutes but they have a big recommendation form to be filled out by his current teacher. The other school does not have a recommendation form for entering K but the assessment is an hour and 20 minutes. I know from asking my neighbor that the 20 minute school does a solo assessment and the hour+ school does a group assessment for part and solo for part.

Anyways, I found the OLSAT Test A. Any others that you have heard is common to use?

OLSAT is common. Some use Bracken School Readiness Test. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracken_School_Readiness_Assessment

"Kindergarten Readiness Test" is another one. https://www.ststesting.com/krt.html

All generally cover similar abilities- some letters, numbers, basic colors or shapes, and then things like "which one is different?"
