[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if they will make a change before school, but my son came into TJ with lots of Spanish experience.  After the placement test, they put him into Spanish 3.  The first 2 months of the school year were really miserable, a lot of the angst stemming from Spanish ("It shouldn't be this hard").  Eventually his counselor suggested moving him back to Spanish 2, which he agreed to.  That helped tremendously for the rest of the year.  The next year he took Spanish 3 (had a different teacher) and it went very well.  Taking AP Spanish this coming year.  So the placement tests are not infallible, but its also possible to make changes mid-year under some circumstances.[/quote]

The will let you drop down under some limited  circconstamces:Math 4 to 3 or 3 to 2.5, as an initial freshman placement; let Freshmen drop down a language level (usually Spanish 2to 1 or 3to 2), and AP to honors physics. That’s about it. I have heard not even BC to AB Calc. And definately not APUSH to Honors. They usually only let you drop down with a low grade and the recommendation of the teacher.

Don’t count on starting high and being about to move down anywhere else. [/quote]
