[quote=Anonymous]It's worth keeping in mind, placement tests don't measure whether you took Algebra 1, but whether you really "got" it and can apply what you learned on a test not written by your current teacher. It doesn't mean the previous class was insufficient, just that your child might not be really confident in the material yet. It's better to retake and get that confidence than push ahead and be shaky in the future. (Your brain also has to reach a certain phase of development for the abstract thinking in Algebra to click. Not everyone gets there at the same time!) The school where I work has an add/drop period at the beginning of each term. So if he aces the first couple tests and is bored, ask to switch classes! Schools want to get the placement right and not have you suffer through.[/quote]
