KINDERGARTEN

Testing for Kindergarten should not take more than 30 minutes. 

It is usually given by a Kindergarten teacher to an individual student.  

Parents typically sit close by while their child takes the test.  

Sometimes children cry and, in those cases, they may be asked to sit with their child to help them calm down.
