[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child has been taking the "tests" this year and I agree there is no way to prep.  She has come home and told me about several and they are more logic puzzles- a tutor would not be able to help with them.  She was told earlier that no one test determines your path next year.  I think the reason there are 5 is to make sure the child has a wide range of understanding, so I wouldn't worry if it was just one test that your child could not complete.  he/she might still be recommended for the class.

For the PP's, how do you know that the testing is over?  Did your child's teacher tell you?  If they are over this early, does that mean we will find out earlier than in past years? Thank you.[/quote]

Yeah... even I am wondering how PP knows its over? My DD has told me everytime she takes the test and looks like so far they had 4 (or 5?).. 
On one of the test, no one in the UCARE group cracked the problem, so they were given another chance to work on the same after 2 days (which was a surprise as I didn't realize they do that!). My DD and one other kid got the answer the second time and after giving enough time, the teacher let the 2 girls explain their answer to everyone else. I am not sure if this was just the teachers initiative, or it counted for testing !! But bottom line, I don't think 1 off day gets you in/out of the compacted math program. They are looking deeper than that.
