  - Do you have to pay for it separately? Do you find out the result? Why do they do it?

- No they don't. Private schools and Hunter administer an ERB test called the CTP4, but it is an achievement test and not an IQ test. It starts in 3rd grade.

        Good for your dc! I wonder if a school uses it to counsel kids out if they do badly?

        np--In our experience, they use CTP results to hone their programs and teaching.

I live well below my means. It feels good and I don't have to worry if I get laid off or can never work again.
