I used this for my daughter in 5th grade in Primary school and prepare for the CogAT® - Cognitive Abilities Test - Form 7 and 8. Easy to access and do the test. Enough material to go through 3 months of self study. The test results are not back yet. But I feel my child has improved a lot in testing.

The testing mom resource has become obsolete. IXL has surpassed it as a more effective option. Testing mom needs to commit to revising their antiquated materials, which have remained stagnant for years. The lack of updates has rendered the resource an unnecessary cost. My children are now using IXL, and my daughter has even encountered identical questions from IXL on her exams.

So many emails. So much sales pressure. I immediately regretted signing up and cancelled as soon as my kid's test was over.

Played phone tag to try and get a hold of them, said best way to reach them was email but they wouldn't deal with what I needed them to deal with except on the phone. Annoying.

The games and tests are GREAT! Both of my children were prepared for the CogAT, and their scores increased from 72nd percentile (nationally) to 99th percentile! This training WORKS

I tried to cancel my subscription and it takes multiple steps and deters you from cancelling.

Really helpful! It helped the kid to familiar with the test format

The quality of the material is okay, not great, not too bad. But their membership policy is pretty tricky to me. They mandatorily auto-renew your membership, no matter which one you picked originally. I only used 3 months of the system, but it kept on charging me for a year until I realized this from my banking account. Isn't it crazy? I have never seen any website like this, mandatorily renewal! There are a lot of other resources for kids, I will never use testing mom anymore. Khan Academy is even free, why go to this?

This site will continue to charge you even after you are finished testing. Be very mindful of the renew policy. I contacted them days after my card being charged and still do not have a refund. I did not click auto renew at the time…somehow it was "clicked" for me.

I accidentally stumbled upon this site and actually laughed out loud at the amount of false information. The owner of this company has absolutely zero qualifications or appropriate training to provide these services. If you note there are quite a few disclaimers and I could guarantee they make it known that they are just there to "help prep" for tests but can't actually provide testing for schools. This is because they do NOT have the credentials. She talks about how her mom has an advanced degree in education which is probably how this company gained access to these tests which are highly restricted for unlicensed and uneducated individuals. For the love of God people do not waste your time or money.

I signed up, was charged 9.99 and the software did not work, kept erroring, never useable. NO support. Cancelled immediately and sent an email requesting a refund (literally 10 minutes after signing up). They refuse to give a refund for their shoddy software/website after multiple communications. To add insult to injury, I am now on their spam list being inundated with daily emails about their "services". They also conveniently seem to not give you a real order ID, just an email called 'your receipt'. Put your money towards a workbook instead.

Please avoid this company, their mock questions contain a lot of error, with a bunch of redundancy. My kids failed the exam after learning from their material for few months. Then I cancelled their poor service. But their website automatically recharged my credit card even I had cancelled their service. It is absolutely a waste of time and money if you use this their service.

Two years ago, testing mom was fantastic. They are preoccupied with selling lifetime memberships and making a quick buck through online coaching. Many excellent apps are no longer available in testing mom (IXL was gone a year back and now Scootpad will be discontinued after August 2022). They are not adding any new apps, and the majority of the apps that are available are garbage. It's only a matter of time before they sell the company to someone else after loading users with lifetime membership.

Membership got renewed without sending reminder OR informing us, I was expecting atleast a gentle reminder which was not done. In entire a year used for couple of weeks, & found no use for us.
All of sudden saw charges made to my card. This kind of act is cheating to customer, looting people.
I called customer care asking for refund payment which she says not possible, it horrifying business tactics.
Please be careful while taking membership

Nothing was interesting or help me learn in the slightest. Doesn't let you choose specific topics for CTP testing. All the interactive learning was either broken or had nothing to help kids over the age of 8 learn. Don't waste your money.

My son did TAG qualification testing for the first time being in his 3rd grade. He studied using testing mom for about 1,5-2 months and got amazing results - 99 percentile rank! He qualified for the program!
Highly recommend!

Took the membership for coGAT and the pattern & type of questions were totally different infact it was more easier for 2nd grader. We still did work on those papers and finally turned up to a totally different actual test on coGAT. It served no use for us.

We called them asking for a refund since it was merely few days we had used it and it was on 1st day of coGAT test we realized that the test was entirely different so we called to check refund.
They declared that they don't give refunds.
Sad we had to pay so much money for nothing

Used this site when my 4-year-old son needed to take the gifted and talented test. Honestly, I thought it would provide me enough practice materials for the test but it was so much more. They had so many practice questions that it was almost overwhelming. I suppose that's better than not having enough for the parents. I did contact their customer service both email and phone. Was impressed they answered my phone call very late into the evening by someone who actually works for the company. Overall, good experience and will be back when my 2-year-old is tested in a couple of years.

Still new, need some guidance on how to use it. Kids have upcoming exams, so I am trying to help them through all the testing mom's resources. It seems that have a lot and kids who can be well prepared for the exams.
