[quote=Anonymous]OP, in addition to test scores, you also need to look at your kid overall -- does he do well in math? My ds is not a fantastic test taker (some processing issues on timed tests) but he is really a math kid. He was put into regular 6th grade math when we moved here from out of state because of the placement test score, but we moved him up to IM in two weeks because he was bored silly. He's now entering 10th grade and will be taking pre-calc this year, AP Calculus BC next year, and some advanced math class senior year. If we'd gone by the test scores (and only listened to the school administration, rather than our kid and his first 6th grade math teacher, both of whom said he was bored and needed to be in the higher class) we'd have kept him back. Test scores are not the be all and end all.[/quote]
