Tested

How hard should an 8th grader work to get into school?

Hopes for a better life are pinned on the SHSAT scores of the dozen kids we follow as they prep for, take, and get test results. But is it fair to have a single test decide who gets to go to the best ('specialized') public schools and should these schools' ethnic makeup should better reflect NYC's population? This film follows a diverse group of kids as they start the school year, prepare for the test, take the test and ultimately get their results back.
