Aptitude Test for School Beginners
The Aptitude Test for School Beginners is a standardized test to see if your child is cognitively ready for the leap from Grade R to Grade 1. Are they ready to make the shift from concrete to more abstract (numbers and symbols)?
Find out for sure with a
school readiness assessment and we’ll show you how they can excel from their
very first day.
“Can I do these things?
Can I spot when pictures
are different and when they’re the same? That means I can learn to read and
write words.
Do I know what the
picture is no matter which way you turn it around? That’s important for
learning my numbers and counting.
Can I the pick out the
picture that’s different from the others? That means I can understand questions
and give good answers.
Can I count things in pictures
or understand how big they are? That shows I can understand what teacher says,
what she means and listen hard when she talks.
Can I copy a picture so
that mine looks the same? That means I can pay attention in class, keep
thinking about what I’m doing, and know when things are different – even when
they look the same.
Can I draw between two
lines without going over them? That means I can control my hands properly so I
can write well.
Can I remember the
pictures I’ve already seen from the ones I haven’t? That means I can remember
things without being told to – and I’m going to need that one a lot in school.
Can I listen to a story
about a picture and then point out the right picture when I see it? That means
I’m going to learn to talk just fine
