[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When DC got an unexpected result after the math placement test last year, the math chair offered DC the chance to come in and look over the test so they could see what they’d missed. The school also offered the option of retaking the placement test toward the end of the summer if DC wanted to try to brush up (either independently, or with a tutor or taking a class). Ultimately DC didn’t want to have to study over the summer and retake and we went with the school’s placement and it turned out to be exactly right. I’d suggest asking if the school could go over the test results with your son (he won’t be able to take it home of course) to see what the gaps are. If it seems like a surmountable difference and up your son is willing to work over the summer, as if a retake would be possible.

Also I don’t understand the school not offering you information about the logistics and cost of taking geometry in the summer. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend that route anyway, but do you mean they just refuse to answer when you’ve asked how much the summer classes cost? [/quote]

What school was this? Knowing the schools are helpful so others can know what to expect. TIA[/quote]
