Depends on the school. The tests on things like literacy level and math competency aren't publicly available, but she can find study guides and practice tests if she looks; some of them are mental health screens, and for those she can read up on what they're meant to diagnose (schools are differently stringent about these; the schools for disabilities least so except that no school will take both hyposensitives and hypersensitives); some schools have "classroom readiness" screens, apparently just for their one-year-old admits with a note that the same skills are important but presumed in place for older transfers, including things like toilet training and ability to follow a sequence of several instructions and do desk work without bothering neighbors.

She's maybe counted as a hyposensitive except she can make herself not-polluted really easily? And doesn't get polluted automatically anyways...

She's automatically literate in everything, but she might want to find a math practice test later when her brain hurts less.

What do the mental health screens try to diagnose?

Hypo- and hypersensitivity; developmental disability; communication delays; dissociative conditions; mood disorders; attention and organization disorders; anxiety and related issues; impulse control problems; delusional syndromes; assorted personality disorders.

Probably the thing she has is an "attention and organization disorder."

Can she find a description of those really easily?

Disorders under the attention and organization umbrella are characterized by:

- Difficulty with beginning, maintaining focus on, or resuming tasks;
- Clinically significant problems with memory, especially as pertains to scheduled plans, keeping track of objects;
- Low tolerance for boredom, especially "physical boredom";
- Preference for accelerated pacing of things like conversations, generation of plans, assessment of risks (often to the detriment of impulse control or general caution)

First and third and kind of the fourth sound like her... Though obviously they'll be different across species.

What're accommodations like for that?

Opinions vary between "apply drugs until it doesn't need accommodations" and "not that", but in the "not that" category she can find recommendations that you let those kids sit on bouncy balls instead of chairs, prevent them from owning too many different objects and putting tracker things on the expensive ones, really aggressive use of calendar and email management and reminder software, permitting them to doodle during class, long class blocks to give them a chance to hook into a task sometime during the block (and provide an advantage if they manage to get into it early and can stay there the whole time), heavily multimedia curriculum materials, and a philosophy called "social learning" which seems to boil down to putting them in groups to do everything.

Bouncy chairs, long blocks, doodling, and social learning all sound good for her.

And of the rainbow schools do any of those?

None expressly mentions all four, but yes, some of them do.

She gets some paper and a pencil out and lists all the rainbow schools, putting stars next to the ones with accommodations she likes for attention disorders, and circles next to the ones with classes that anyone from any caste can take as long as they meet the prerequisites, and squares next to the ones that take hyposensitives and diamonds next to hypersensitives, triangles next to "two recesses."

Do any of the schools have a star, a circle, a square, and a triangle?

Nope. She can get star circle diamond triangle, and she can get star square triangle.

She'll have to check if it's okay for her to be at a hypersensitive school as long as she makes herself acidic a lot and memorizes all the pollution rules. Otherwise - what's the star-square-triangle like for classes?

Star-square-triangle lets most kids into most classes, but there's an orange-only subtrack for future teachers, where they go more meta about the education and bounce around between a lot of classes; there's a work-study program for four year olds which is casted; and there are some classes that are purple-only versions of the same course the other (also-purple-allowed) classes, which are described as having more background for purples who need the help to catch up, and as being recommended for purples who are nervous about being in an intercaste school.

Star-square-triangle and star-circle-diamond-triangle and any that have star-circle-square go on the short list (which is indicated by check marks to the right of the names, the symbols having gone to the left). Star-square-triangle gets a thicker check mark, though.

Have any of the schools actually put together pitches yet, too? (She's been at the research for a couple of hours on and off, and she didn't notice the announcement going out right away, too).

The schools have been given a week to work on them, and none have turned theirs in this early.

Apparently she's really fast when hyperfocusing...

She'll need to find something else to do for a week, though not being around other kids for that long might be a bit unpleasant. Adults kind of work for socialization but some of them talk down to her... Plus, being stuck in a house, even a nice house, for that long sounds bad. 

...Can she figure out how to talk to their contact person?

They have been left an email address.

She'll send an email about chances to get out of the house and maybe meet people before the schools finish their pitches. Bright can turn into a different kid if that'd make it easier, too.

About half an hour later she gets a reply! Sorry about the delay, we didn't want to rush the kids since they weren't expecting the project! If you want to change faces and come visit some of your contact people's kids and grandkids we can probably make that work. Ude's volunteering a couple grandsons, one two and one three.

That's okay. 

And visiting kids and grandkids sounds fun. I can be a boy for those, the boy shape I like doesn't look too much like my girl shape.

Sounds great! Ude can come pick you up in about an hour if that works for you. Will your mother want to come?

She checks with her mother.

That works, and yeah, but mom can also do other faces.

(Mom might have trouble letting Bright out of her sight when it's time for school...)

Ude'll bring a car since we're not sure you're not too heavy to go on a passenger train. Anything else I can do for you?

I kind of wanted to look at the math practice tests for the admission stuff, since I don't know if my math's good enough, but that can be tomorrow.

Okay, will you want someone to go over them with you?
