我們學區考CogAT 和ITBS。CogAT包括verbal, quantitative和nonverbal。ITBS包括math 和reading。友情提醒,考試要按照高一年紀準備,比如我娃一年級,要做二年級的題。
準備前建議找點模擬題做一下,一是熟悉題型,二是找到知識薄弱點,重點突擊。
ITBS:Test Best Itbs Grade 2, LVL 8 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0811428591/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

CogAT Form 7 Practice Test - Second Grade (Level 8) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1935858475/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
這裏也有兩套CogAT的題。http://www.mercerpublishing.com/cogat.html
先說ITBS reading。聽說很多孩子reading是短板,需要提前一年開始係統補習。拿不到90 percentile以上(才相當於錯5道題),你其他考得再高也沒用了。我娃reading還行,複習的重點放在補窟窿上了。比如我娃phonics不好,就用了下麵的書補。
Spectrum Phonics, Grade 2 (McGraw-Hill Learning Materials Spectrum) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1561899429/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
這本也不錯,對閱讀理解很有幫助。
Nonfiction Reading Comprehension: Social Studies, Grades 2-3 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1420680234/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
再說數學,包括ITBS的math和CogAT的quantitative/nonverbal。我娃數學不太好,所以用了下麵的書做了係統的複習。這書非常好,感覺我娃的數學能力,邏輯能力和圖形能力都有了很大的提高。
Mathematical Reasoning Supplement - Grades 2-4 http://www.rainbowresource.com/product/Mathematical+Reasoning+Supplement+-+Grades+2-4/051051/f76d48eb29a14efbea45277a?subject=10&category=8655
對CogAT來說,Analogy很重要,基本貫穿了整個CogAT的三個部分,有verbal analogy (verbal), math analogy (quantitative), and figure analogy (nonverbal)。下麵這本書很有幫助。
Analogies for Beginners http://www.amazon.com/Analogies-Beginners-Dianne-Draze/dp/1593630468/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1395987303&sr=1-2&keywords=beginning+analogies
還有這本書也不錯,對CogAT nonverbal部分很有幫助。
Building Thinking Skills (level 1) http://www.amazon.com/Building-Thinking-Skills%C2%AE-Level-1/dp/1601441495/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1396025449&sr=1-1&keywords=Building+Thinking+Skills
再有就是多做題了,testing mom裏的題還挺多的。http://www.testingmom.com/
