Welcome.

Testing, testing, testing, testing. Crucial opportunities for our children can be determined by how well they do on tests. As parents, teachers and tutors we seek information about the skills and knowledge the children in our care will be tested on, resources to teach our children and practice opportunities so that they won’t be penalized by the novelty of the testing situation.  
 
 
This website began as a collection of resources which could be used to teach children thinking skills – skills like reasoning by analogy, sequencing, classifying and more. Children who can make connections and understand their own thinking processes learn faster and retain more. That's why these very same skills are the ones needed to do well in cognitive ability and IQ testing.  Customers sought more focused help in providing their children with the opportunities to perform their best when tested and in response we’ve added information about tests together with our recommendations.
 
What makes our selection of products different is that we understand gifted children. We were gifted children. We have gifted children (who were accepted into gifted and talented programs). We know that your child is reading above grade level and taking advanced math classes. We know that a book designed for average children the same age as your child will be too easy.
 
If your child is being considered for entry to a gifted or honors program (GATE) and is going to be tested using a group multiple choice test like the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT), Otis-Lennon School Abilities Test (OLSAT) or Naglieri Non-Verbal Ability Test (NNAT) or a full IQ test like the Stanford-Binet (S-B5), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-IV) or Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) you’ve come to the right place. Browse the links provided for more information about the tests and suggestions as to what you can do to increase your child’s test score. Practice or sample questions are provided where possible but many these tests are protected and very little information about them is available to the public.
 
Selecting the right level and types of products can be difficult particularly with gifted children who may be working at very different levels in different subject areas.   If you need help in narrowing your search to the most appropriate products please phone or e-mail with some information about your child (for example, age, grade, reading level, math level etc) and your interest (for example, improve reading, prepare for CogAT, visual processing resources, etc.) and we'll help .
