[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We watched a Youtube channel last night that claimed to have questions from the IAAT on it. There were 4 videos, each one was 10 minutes long. DS was worried about the test today so we scrolled through the questions that they showed. Some seemed to be flat out easy but they got progressivly more difficult. DS felt comfortable with the harder questions in the later sections and seemed more comfortable with taking the test today.

[b]I would guess that any kid who has been taking classes at RSM or AoPS will be fine because those programs cover mor ematerial and move at a faster pace then FCPS. I am guessing that most of DS friends are going to struggle[/b]. [/quote]

I’m not sure why you assume your child’s friends will struggle. My kid takes no extracurricular math and consistently scored 58-59/60 on the practice exams, as did many friends without extracurricular math programs. Many Kids do just fine on this test with *only* FCPS curriculum. [/quote]

Here is hoping they do better then I think they will. I know that they have not done practice exams at school and I know the parents of the kids I am thinking about so I know that they have not done practice exams at home. [/quote]

Interesting. Our school did a few practice tests. [/quote]

Ours did none, which is my math loving, math competition participating kid was worried last night and we looked up some info on the test. The Teachers told parents at the Open House that they wouldn't do any practice and that they discouraged parents from doing anything at home so that the kids who passed would pass on ability not prep. Our kid does math enrichment, he loves the competitions, so figured he would be fine and didn't stress over it at home.

If only FCPS had consistent practices and policies and actually enforced those practices and policies. [/quote]
