[quote=Anonymous]I had my 2nd grader go through a CogAT prep book from Amazon during the summer and fall leading up to the October test.  She enjoyed doing it and was never forced.  I agree with other posts that it will not move the test score dramatically. What I do think helps:

1. Example questions will ensure that your child is familiar with the format of the questions and what it is asking, then no time is wasted trying to comprehend the 'ask'.

2. Make sure your kid is well rested in the week or weekend leading up to the test.  Have a better breakfast.

3. I think any activity where your child has to focus and follow explicit instructions is beneficial and you can deem as prep in a way. (Think: doing Legos with the manual for an extended period, diamond painting, color by number, sticker by number, etc) That shows you what their ability and endurance level is when it comes to focusing and executing specific tasks.

Don't stress it too much. If they do their best and pay attention that is all you can ask for.[/quote]
