Great advice!
Good luck Isa!
Of course it's normal for you to be nervous, so share that here - but - try and shield your nervousness from DD.
I found it useful to say - 'mommy is very excited because she remembers how exciting these tests were when she was little.' because it's not like we can totally sheild them from our feeling!
or 'mommy is very excited because learning about brains is so interesting.'
or whatever fits and is somewhat plausable and doesn't add pressure.
Good idea to brief for the 'easy questions' - you can explain that all the children bloom at their own speed - like flowers - and they have to ask questions that are too easy and questions that are too hard to see what speed your brain it at today. Letting her know that you love her no matter what her brain-speed is - you just want to know so you can help school fit better. Maybe even better to talk about how you will love little brother no matter what his brain-speed turns out to be, and won't she? But you wouldn't want to talk to him at the wrong brain-speed.
Hope that helps,
