Message Us on WhatsAppCan a child prepare for a gifted test?
Yes, in a light and friendly way. Gifted screening measures reasoning, so we build thinking skills and make the question styles familiar. We do not cram, and we do not promise a score or placement.
How does my school board identify gifted students?
Each board has its own process. In Ontario, it often includes a school referral and an Identification Placement and Review Committee. Ask your school for the steps.

A couple of months before the test window is a good start, with a little practice each week.

We keep it low pressure, with short sessions and puzzles that feel like games.
