[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS did badly on his language pre-comp exam. His pre-comp grade was nearly 30 points lower than his class grade. Obviously, this was disturbing to him and to me. He spoke with his teacher who was also surprised. It did take a couple weeks, but he did get an opportunity to sit down with the pre-comp and his scoring sheet and see what he did wrong. He made some dumb mistakes and he didn't really study what was emphasized -- that kind of thing. I don't think it's the end of the world. He understands what is going on and I'm pretty confident he'll do better on the comp. [/quote]

Thank you for this info.  It is a learning curve - taking these exams that cover so much material, which is why it begins in 6th grade not later on - so if you want to get into a private school for high school, or Walls, you probably can.

how did you and he get access to his precomp?

Perhaps you can help the above poster who believes that you need some kind of "special relationship" with someone.  Do you?  
Why did it take a couple of weeks?

If it was a failure by the administration, as opposed to the precomps not yet being back from wherever they process them, I would really like to know.

TIA,
Basis parent who has never reviewed a precomp

But thank you for reinforcing the fact that reviewing them is possible and can be helpful.  My spouse found the same thing with the one precomp he reviewed with our child last year.[/quote]
