[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For last few weeks I've been having my child do some practice SCAT tests for the math part of the MS magnet test.    The intermediate SCAT (since designed for 6-9th graders) is surprisingly hard.    Seems really unfair to me that they are going to test these kids on advanced math when they have not offered them any path to learn it - [b]after talking away all meaningful acceleration other than compact math[/b].   Luckily my child seems to pick things up easy but I am pretty annoyed with this whole thing.[/quote]

...after taking away all meaningful acceleration other than the meaningful acceleration that they offer, that is...

But really, OP, I don't understand the issue here. The kids who take the test are compared to other kids who take the test. Your kid doesn't need to get an A on the MS magnet math test. Your kid just needs to do better than enough other kids.

Or are you concerned that all of the other kids have been doing math prep, but your kid hasn't?

(I have no idea what the math part of the MS magnet test actually is.)[/quote]
