[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child has always scored high (upper 90s perentile) without enrichment. Just seems to "get" math in a way I never did as a kid. I don't think it's necessary to get enrichment to do well.[/quote] OP here - I’m taking upper 99th percentile here. Specifically, 272 in 5th grade.[/quote] Awesome score, Op! Congrats to your DC. My DS took a similar leap in 5th grade. He‘s very analytical and was sometimes able to make educated guesses even though he hadn’t been exposed to the skill. I assume most kids stop trying when they reach the point in the exam where the material doesn’t look familiar. Celebrate with DC, but also prepare them for the possibility that their score will drop in the spring ( and that it’s not a big deal). When your DC takes the test in the spring, it will assume they know math at a 272 level, and the questions will be very difficult from the start. [/quote]
