This is what I found from this board last year. I decided I would only have DC do it if she scored very highly and her math teacher gave a very strong “yes!” to it. Both happened so we did and it has been a good experience so far this year.

DC is not generally a STEM kid but gets most math pretty well and hates a slow pace in it. I would think that is the kind of kid that the class is built for? My other AAP kiddo I most likely won’t encourage to do it in 7th as the math doesn’t “just click” as quickly for him.

For what its worth, she score 98% on the IAAT and her teacher recommended she take it.   [/quote]
