[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, perhaps you could take this an opportunity to teach your child some stronger study skills. Study skills shouldn't just be about cramming for a test in the last few days, it should focus on mastery of the material so she has a better understanding as new material builds on earlier material later in the unit. Teach her how to review material regularly, ask questions as soon as she becomes aware she's uncertain about something, etc. If she gets into a good routine with this, two days' notice before a test shouldn't be a big deal because her need to do extra studying should truly be minimal.[/quote]

I pretty much agree with this, however I'm sort of confused because I have posted a previous post asking "How much does your 4th grader study?" And the responses were pretty much none.  It seems to me that at her school they either have to study daily to keep on top of everything or else cram before a test. This doesn't seem to be the situation among most other posters here. Oh, and my daughter has an iq of 130 which I only mention because I'm sure people are assuming she's just dim. [/quote]
