So my 10-year-old just got nominated to take the SCAT in about six weeks and I'm honestly a little overwhelmed. She's sharp in math but I have no idea what the verbal reasoning section actually looks like or how hard it gets. I've been poking around online trying to find a decent SCAT practice test but a lot of what I'm finding seems either too easy or just generic gifted-test stuff that doesn't match the format.
We've been doing maybe 20-30 minutes of prep a night, but I don't have a good sense of whether that's enough or if we're even studying the right things. I found one study guide that broke down the analogy questions really well, but nothing that gave me a clear picture of the math difficulty level for her age band. Has anyone gone through this recently? What actually helped your kid prepare without burning them out before test day?
