[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP does your child supplement outside of MCPS? I looked at that test and I saw at least three topics that are not covered by MCPS Alg. 2 so it's odd that your child could magically get 100% of those questions right.

OP here. Like I posted  elsewhere DS does AoPS. This is the first year he is not going to do it because of another activity. [/quote]

IMO, your two options are go to regular Precal or stay in honors, with or without a tutor, and don't worry about the grade too much. He's absorbing the material which will mean higher level classes will be fine.[/quote]

The OP said “struggling massively”. That’s the opposite of being fine.[/quote]

Read the updates.[/quote]

Yeah, things really improved from Thursday night to Sunday.[/quote]

She explained what she meant by that. To me it sounds like the teacher is unnecessarily piling on tests that don’t allow enough time for a kid who understands the content.[/quote]

Although I don't agree with describing the teacher as "piling on" because it's unclear to me the teacher is doing anything wrong or excessive but just that the student works a bit more slowly than other students despite having a great grasp of the material.

I don't know why that other PP is obsessed with putting down OP and her child and finding flaws in her story.

A freshman who is taking PRECALCULUS and previously got A's does not compute with the sudden onset of test anxiety. If test anxiety were the real issue, it would have shown up long before and he wouldn't have been able to progress so far in advance without accommodations.

I think OP and her son have no idea what the problem is and that's the issue. They need to diagnose the issue specifically, which is what many replies in this thread told her to do. She then came back and chalked it up to test anxiety, which does not make sense with all the other details she provided.[/quote]
