The John Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY) is an education program that offers summer programs, online programs, and other services and resources to gifted children. The program administers the School and College Ability Test (SCAT) to measure the math and verbal reasoning abilities of gifted children by giving them above-grade-level tests. For example, students in grades 2 or 3 will take the Elementary SCAT that has content designed for students from grade 4 to 5; students in grades 4 or 5 take the Intermediate SCAT designed for students from grades 6 to 8; and students in grade 6 or above take the Advanced SCAT which is meant for students from grades 9 to 12. At Aegis Advisors, we offer targeted private tutoring and test preparation on every aspect of the SCAT exam.
The Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) is a computer-adaptive assessment; it is a test that adapts to the student’s ability by increasing the difficulty of the question if the correct answer is given and reducing it when the incorrect answer is given. At Aegis Advisors, we provide private tutoring and online tutoring for the MAP entrance exam. Our team of private tutors also offer standardized test preparation for all the different international school entrance exams in Hong Kong.
UKiset is an online adaptive admissions test for independent U.K. boarding schools and it measures four skills: Non-verbal Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, Mathematics, and English Skills. At Aegis Advisors, we offer private tutoring and online tutoring on test preparation for all four sections of the UKiset.
The ISEE and Secondary Schools Admissions Test (SSAT) are admissions tests for top U.S. boarding schools and they are an excellent preparation for achieving top scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). There are levels of the ISEE depending on whether a student is applying for entrance to grades 5/6 7/8, or 9/12. The SSAT is split into three levels – lower, middle, and upper – depending on the age of the student.
