Report of a Bard Assessment

Bard asked that you bring your report card to the test scheduled for 4:30 on the day of the assessment. Your child is sent up alone through the cafeteria up to the auditorium where they are given the test which consists of math (algebra--about 32 questions) and a 2-page essay on a general topic like "What did you do yesterday?" (or any day in the past). Parents were told to pick up their children by 6pm. Many got out earlier. Big writers stayed on until the end. Parents could wait in the cafeteria or come back for pick up. It would be worth researching the most efficient way to get there (East Houston and the FDR Drive) and shortening the walk. Best would probably be trains then bus.
