[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This question makes no sense to me. Prepping will not necessarily help a kid with ADHD the point is that they can't focus during the test and no prep will help with that. Medication is the most helpful thing for most with ADHD. If you are worried it is impacting your child, medication not prepping and stressing them out is the choice in my opinion.[/quote]

If the kid has a hard time focusing, it may help to know what’s coming, in general terms, and relax and help themselves focus.

Everyone will lose focus if a task proves undoable. The point is how much will preping help a person continue to try?[/quote]

No amount of prepping is going to help a kid "relax and help themselves focus." They cannot do it. Do you not understand what ADHD is? It's a chemical imbalance in the brain. And btw, my kid who scored 142 during neuropsych testing scored a 78 on the NNAT. He literally scored in the 9th percentile so 91% of kids at his school did better than him. No amount of retakes/test-prepping is going to fix the fact that he is proud of how quickly he finished. Parent the kid you have. [/quote]
