I don't reccomend "prepping" but it does seem to be worth explaining the difference between solving every math exquation and reasoning it out. Most kids will naturally reason it out, which is what the test hopes and expects, but a few with the perfectionism thing going will try to solve every problem and then not have enough time for all the problems. It's worth making sure your child understands the difference. Smiles, Grinity Coaching available, at SchoolSuccessSolutions.com

It is quite short and on a computer, which is helpful to many kids with writing problems and/or attention issues. It wouldn't hurt to ensure that your child knows what an analogy is, but I would refrain from any sort of drill.
