From CogAT to Math Kangaroo to AMC 8 - The Little Scientists Way

Every Ivy League journey begins long before high school. It starts in the early years; when a child first discovers joy in solving a tough math problem or excitement in a simple science experiment. At The Little Scientists, we believe that brilliance is built through consistent practice, advanced problem-solving and guided competition training from Grade 1 to Grade 8.

Start With Cognitive Excellence - The CogAT Advantage

The CogAT test (Cognitive Abilities Test) is one of the most accurate ways to identify advanced learners early. Our CogAT test prep and CogAT practice tests help students strengthen verbal, quantitative and non-verbal reasoning skills.

At TLS, your child doesn’t just take a CogAT practice test PDF; they learn how to think like a gifted learner.

  • Access CogAT test sample questions and CogAT practice test free online for diagnostic analysis.

  • Personalized CogAT exam preparation designed by experts who understand the CogAT test online format.

  • Structured CogAT preparation online that builds long-term logical reasoning.

With the best CogAT test prep, students build the foundation for higher-level math and science competitions; and future Ivy League potential.


Excel in Math Competitions - From Math Kangaroo to AMC 8

Once students develop strong reasoning, they’re ready to apply it through world-recognized challenges like Math Kangaroo and AMC 8.


Math Kangaroo Practice Tests & Past Papers

TLS offers the most comprehensive Math Kangaroo practice tests, Math Kangaroo past papers, and Mathematical Kangaroo past papers with detailed explanations. Children solve sample Math Kangaroo questions, Math Kangaroo past tests and Kangaroo Math competition problems designed to build analytical depth.


Each Math Kangaroo practice question or Math Kangaroo sample test helps children:

  • Strengthen critical thinking

  • Learn competition patterns

  • Improve speed and accuracy

Parents can access Math Kangaroo past papers PDF, Kangaroo math sample problems and Kangaroo math contest materials to help their child prepare confidently.


AMC 8 Practice That Builds Global Math Leaders

Our AMC 8 preparation program trains students for success in one of the toughest global math competitions; the American Mathematics Competition (AMC 8).

TLS provides:
