About the NYC G&T Test Level B NYC Gifted and Talented programs are specifically designed to cater to the needs of gifted children. These programs provide gifted students with an advanced education at an accelerated rate. Since gifted programs contain limited spots, they utilize assessments to determine eligibility for these programs. As a result, the NYC Department of Education developed the NYC Gifted and Talented Assessment. This test is offered in a majority of New York City's 32 districts, and is generally used as an admissions tool for gifted programs.
The NYC Gifted and Talented Test Level B is generally administered to students in 1st Grade, for entry into 2nd grade. This test is composed of parts from two other gifted assessments: a verbal section made up of questions from the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT), and a nonverbal section made up of questions from the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test (NNAT).
NYC gifted programs have become increasingly competitive. Initially, children who scored at or above the 97th percentile were eligible for admittance into a gifted program. However, in recent years, some programs have been unable to grant admission to students who scored in the 99th percentile! Competition for spots in NYC gifted programs is at an all-time high. Preparing your child for the NYC Gifted and Talented Test is essential. Learn more about how the NYC G&T Test is scored.

"The test at school (NNAT) was easier than the questions on the website. I knew my answers were correct for all the questions except for two of them that I found somewhat confusing. I had a lot of fun doing the test! (Kevin, 2nd grade)"
"I liked the online format and that it allowed for interactivity. The content was great in helping my child prepare for the test and I would totally recommend it to other parents."
