[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can understand looking forward to finding out about AAP but what difference does this test make? so what if your kid takes algebra in 8th grade? [/quote]

It only matters if your kid wants to take algebra in 7th. Taking algebra in 8th is also fine. [/quote]

Yep, and there are plenty of students who qualify for Alegbra I in 7th grade and still decide to tae Math 7th Honors.  7th grade and middle school can be hard enough without the added pressure of a high school class. [/quote]

This is where we are. I see no reason to rush my kid into a high school class as a 12-year-old.  I was actually kind of hoping that their score would be just below the cutoff so we wouldn't have to consider it.[/quote]

I had a talk with my kid about it & we said it will move fast, etc. My kid likes math and wants to take Algebra in 7th so now I guess I don’t think with a 99 percentile on IATT I should micromanage that decision and say no, you can’t. I think rising 7th is old enough to pick classes yourself. If my kid didn’t want to do take Algebra til 8th, I would have respected that too.

That said - I also didn’t say anything like it’s a high school class so you really have to care about your grade. I guess I’m not worried about it & think kid will probably do fine. My kid just likes math - & doesn’t know or care about whether it’s a high school class or not. [/quote]
