[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks.   I don't want to overwhelm my son if it's too difficult.  So I just wanted a general overview.  I think the timed element will probably do him in.[/quote]

OP - we did not prep, not one single bit. Not even a sample question.  There are those who did not prep at all.

I told my DC to take the test, and try as best as DC can.  No pressure.  I didn't really tell DC what it was for.  The only reason I had DC take the test was because DC has always done really well in school to the point where in K/1, DC wasn't even in a reading group because DC was reading so much higher than other kids.  And in 2nd grade, DC did really well in the Inview test, except for one score.  If things were different, I probably wouldn't have had DC take the test because from what I have heard (second hand sources), some kids in the testing room were crying because they were so stressed out.

You know  your kid best, but if you think your kid will be stressed out and have anxiety over this, then maybe think seriously hard about whether your DC should take the test.  My DC#2 in second grade is not showing signs of being at the same level as DC#1.  For now, my inclination is to not have DC#2 take the test.[/quote]
