Eh, whatever. My child is at an HGC, we didn't prep, but each parent should do what they think is best for their kid. Perhaps they're really smart but don't test well. These are basically IQ tests; even if they prepped it would probably only boost the scores a bit; it's not going to make a completely unqualified child score highjly enough to get in.

If not, go to the Critical Thinking website and look up Raven to see if they offer specific test prep for that.


Not the OP, but thanks for this recommendation (for the website!).

My 3rd grader was not given the Raven last year in 2nd as far as I can tell. Also from what he tells me the HGC test was also not the Raven. Maybe its used later for something...

It's supposed to assess your child's raw abilities, why don't you let it do so without interfering.


This is neither a suggestion for a book or a resource.

Can you please start another thread to discuss interfering parents who make their kids prep for IQ tests?

Thank you.
