TryingHardMom Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hi, does anyone here ever had their son/daughter take the Stanford Binet test for Kindergarten? Can you share any tips on how to do well on this test without exposing the taker to the test itself?I hope there is someone out there! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubiac Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 TestingforKindergarten.com + TestingMom.com have some tips. I wish they would publish the Testing for Kindergarten book under a different title, like "Cool Cognitive Exercises for Your Kids" or something. :) It's actually very thoughtfully written and the "work" is almost entirely play-based, but maybe that's not what sells? Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anabelneri Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Generally speaking, when taking an IQ test it's a good idea to just keep giving answers even when you aren't sure anymore. So if you can encourage your child to make guesses, that's great. The more talking the better. The tester will still stop the test when a certain number of questions are incorrect, but they get a lot more data to work with if you can keep talking, especially because a lot of people will still make correct "guesses" until they truly reach the point when they are out of their league. (I picked this up from friends while they were taking the "Tests and Assessments" class while getting their PhDs in psychology). Good luck!
