[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are probably right, pp, he must have taken Algebra I in 7. My mistake. And yes, we opted to do a prep course this summer to get a head start because DC doesn't like to do a lot of extra stuff during the school year. I hope it has been worthwhile to at least show him what he will need to work on before taking the test the first time. But I do hear you about lightening up![/quote] I'm not the one who said to lighten up but I am starting to wonder it the acceleration has meant that your DS has missed some of the basics. My DC did much better on the SATs and is taking AP Calc as a senior so is a year behind. Maybe some focused SAT tutoring on math this fall to cover some of the basics would be very worthwhile. It depends what schools he is aiming at of course. If they are test optional then it's fine. If they are selective schools then 500's in math won't come close unless he is being recruited for sports or has some other hook.[/quote]
