The GATE Test Prep Bundle for Pre K contains our top picks to use in preparation for Gifted and Talented testing.  In making these selections we've assumed that you've got a highly capable child.  If you're planning ahead with a young 4 year old you may prefer to begin with easier titles in some of the series (like Mathematical Reasoning) to build confidence.  We recommend printing some of the sample pages and trying them with your child.  Children vary hugely in what they can do at this age and in the extent to which they've been exposed to formal preschool education.

 

Grade level designations on the individual titles are from the publishers and are applicable to average children.  Since GATE testing is designed to identify children with cognitive abilitities two or more years ahead of those of their peers you'll need above grade level material to expose your child to the most difficult concepts they'll be tested on.
