Second Grade DS is taking the OLSAT test at the end of February. We are used to ERBs and none of our dcs has ever taken OLSAT. Are you supposed to prep for this (I'm not crazy I don't want him surprised by it) Have you any experience with it? tia!

  - what do people use to prep? I see there are books on line but the math is only for 3rd graders. Is there no math prep for 2nd grade?
