    Hi everyone!
    I just had a parent teacher conference and she recommended my 2nd grader for the GATE exam in December. Our district uses NNAT 2. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on how to prep him for it.

    Make sure he gets a good night's sleep and eats a nourishing breakfast with some fat, carbs, and protein in it.

    I agree with ElizabethN. I would also add not to make a big deal of it, but just be sure that he knows he should do his best and not treat the test like a a game.
