NGAT practice, for a parent
Unofficial notes for parents about NGAT format practice. The authors discourage prepared practice of test content. Original ASPIRE pictures. No score is promised.
Letter paper. A PDF file comes later.
Therefore, we discourage the use of prepared materials to practice test content.
What the authors say
The public test-prep page for these tests says no test prep or studying is needed.
ASPIRE repeats that. These pages are practice, not an official form.
They are original picture exercises for format familiarity.
What the screen is like
There are three parts: Verbal, Nonverbal, and Quantitative.
The child sees pictures instead of a reading passage.
A short wordless demo plays first. Then three warm-up items. Those are untimed.
One answer is right. Later questions get harder.
Kindergarten through grade 2 is parent-present. A parent stays with the child. Student accounts stay grades 5–12.
Habits, not a study plan
Look at every choice.
Sit with a task.
One answer is correct.
Set aside a choice that does not fit.
That is the habit list. It is not a study plan. ASPIRE does not add one.
