[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our case, I searched some sample questions online, picked about 5 questions, make a handwritten note of the Qs, and have DC do it the morning of the NNAT test.  At a glance, DC did not understand what is asked, but soon after figured out the Q style.  DC spent only about 5 minutes for that, and did great on the actual test.  So, in our case, a quick prep worked.[/quote]

Similar experience, we found some free example questions online and printed them out. First we did 3 questions kind of talking through each one. It was clear our child was misunderstanding a bit at first what the questions were asking and overthinking what they were looking for as a response. We then had them do 5 more themselves and after we talked through the 1 of those 5 they got incorrect and they had another a-ha moment on that one. At that point we felt like they got the concept, but didn't want to start drilling them with a bunch of practice questions. Did it the weekend before, not day of, and child did very well on the test.

I'm not sure what kind of "prep" they do in-class, is it similar to what we did with a handful of questions to familiarize with the general concept/format of the test? Or are the kids expected to take it completely cold turkey having never seen so much as a single sample question?[/quote]
