No. And all the FCPS parents who are having their kids do a year's worth of test prep so they get into AAP are throwing off the scores.
Test prep for NNAT? Do they really do that?!
How?
Google. It's a thing. They sell practice tests and there are classes.
A day or two before the test, I showed my daughter various google image photos and sample PDFs of the NNAT / Naglieri that we could access for free, and some youtube videos. Just wanted her to be familiar with the test, as our teacher recommended. We didn't purchase a book, and probably spent less than 2 hours doing it. She scored in the 99% - probably would have been a little lower if she wasn't aware of the question types and format.
Thank you for your constructive post.
