Parents, here’s a trick question. What do the PSAT, SAT, ACT, and AP tests have in common with the OLSAT A, WPPSI-III, Stanford-Binet, CogAT, WISC, TAG, or GATE tests? Either one will throw you into a tailspin, as you try to prepare your child to enter a coveted school. And by the way, do you know which ones are required for acceptance into kindergarten?

Say what?! cheating to practice, prep, or pay for classes that offer activities, or exercises to prepare your preschooler for any kindergarten test. Most college-bound teenagers take multiple prep courses before the ACT, AP or SAT tests. Elementary, middle and high school students are prepped in class, or at home prior to taking various state evaluation tests. Practicing for the kindergarten test is no different.

Private and public kindergarten schools in various states may require different tests, and it behooves the parents to find out early. Testing generally occurs in the fall, providing plenty of time for summer training and activity.

Good Resources to Consider (with a child’s test material book). These two test book packages offer detailed, and comprehensive material to prepare for specific tests (ERB/WPPSI and OLSAT A). Each book sub-test section is explained, problems scale from simple to more difficult, the books offer excellent, age appropriate graphics and they include multiple practice pages.

Organized in Sub-tests : Aristotle Circle offers the ERB/WPPSI-III and OLSAT testing material, as schools may require different assessments. And each test evaluates different abilities. Since most of the tests are verbal and broken up in segments, practice material is written and developed as sub-tests. Parents, or tutors should practice content orally with a child.

Covers A Broad Range of Topics: How do you test for life experiences? Not that easy, and don’t expect Aristotle Circle books to cover all aspects of the test. What these books offer is an opportunity to practice oral questions and sessions that help your child be better prepared, and comfortable in a testing environment.

Learn How to Follow Verbal Direction: The OLSAT and WPPSI tests primarily focus on how well student responds and follow verbal direction. Comparing topics covered on the WPPSI and OLSAT tests to what material is provided in the Aristotle Circle testing books, young students will be given significant opportunity to practice a wide variety of skills, test topics and exercises. Yes, the two test prep books are expensive (OLSAT – $199, WPPSI – $499), however, the material covered on each test (see below) appears to be well reviewed in each respective book.
