[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different poster, but in another thread (https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1044266.page#22211290) someone said the APS cut off for pre-algebra in 6th was 1130.  But this chart shows the top possible score in 5th grade as 1046.  How does that work?

You can score higher than the top score of that chart. It just means that’s the range for 5th grade students who are considered advanced for 5th grade. But for pre-algebra, they are really looking for 5th grade kids already scoring as advanced at the 6th grade level. They are condensing 6, 7, and 8 grade math into one year so that the kids are ready to take high-school level Alg 1 in 7th grade.

One thing to consider is whether your kid has the temperament and stamina to do a course for high school credit in 7th grade. My son is in that class now and it is noticeably more homework than the rest of his classes. And the other kids in there with him are similarly extremely high GT in math— regularly competing and placing in CML contests, etc. It’s a higher pressure crew of kids. [/quote]
