[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this wasn't a timed test, my gut tells me that any kid in 6th grade advanced math would do well. I just wonder why the test is timed such that each section, with 15 questions, is given only 10 minutes.[/quote] Being able to do the basic pre-algebra math quickly, efficiently, and correctly absolutely is a good predictor of your ability to succeed in Algebra I. It's SO important when you get to more advanced math to be able to do the basics - fractions, computation, solve for x, etc - without really thinking about it. If a child can quickly and correctly solve the problems, they're ready to move on. If they can't, they need more practice until they are truly ready to succeed with the next level. There is nothing more frustrating than an Algebra II student struggling with the computation part of an equation because they aren't 100% confident with fractions.[/quote]
