i would assume that you would wait until the last possible moment to retake the ERB as the older you are the smarter you are. [ Reply | More

Many schools request ERB earlier. Also you can plan ahead.i.e. you think HM is your first choice and request application in September. But if you know your DC's score already in fall and DC got 92. Why bother to apply HM, or TTs? You need to know the score before you apply. [ Reply | More

ERBS are normed for age range--expectations are higher for older kids. Young verbal kids may get a boost from taking the test on the early side. [ Reply | More

It's okay to take ERB once a year. She probably tried for prek, so dc had to take it. [ Reply | More

The ERB is offered once per admission season. The season runs from April of one year until March of the following year. Thus you could have your summer child take it the fall after they turn 4 and then again (if you don't get a school) in the spring or summer or fall before or after the turn 5. [ Reply | More
