Hello,
Looking for a second opinion here. Does using the Critical Thinking Co’s Building Critical Thinking Skills books (begunner 1 and beginner 2) count as test prepping? We never used them with that intent, only to keep him occupied and mentally engaged since he loves logic games and puzzles.
Our DS4 tested at 134 on the wppsi. I informed the psych of the workbook usage. She asked whether we used attribute blocks in conjunction with the books and we did not so she said she wasn’t worried about it. Her evaluation mentioned that his mild distractibility and motor restlessness during the examination may have actually cost him a few points and that the score may be an underestimate of his true potential. She explicitly requested no additional testing.
My concern is that we apply to a local school for 98%+ kids and have inadvertently put him into an environment that is stressful.
