[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Scores on the science section tend to be more variable, not random necessarily, but a lot more variable.  On math, Alg II will help, which is one of the reasons scores tend to be higher when kids take it after completing A 2, and on the ACT, there is more time pressure than SAT so a kid needs to be able to work quickly.[/quote]

OP here.  Thanks for this...this is the most helpful explanation and I appreciate it!   DS took geometry last year and will be taking A2 this year, so that makes sense. Also, he gets time and a half on the test, so the time constraint would not apply to him. He will be taking SAT soon to see which test suits him best. Trying to get in front of this now rather than wait.[/quote]

We will have to apply for extension of time for our dc as well.  Does your dc have an iep or 504?  Does he always use his extra time on tests/quizzes all the time?  My dc often does not, so I'm thinking we will be denied extension although she has 504 allowing for extra time in school.  [/quote]

DS is in private school and has accommodations (time and a half).  He does not use extra time that often, but does for mid-term and final exams.  He does use it for any sort of standardized testing.  Even if he finishes on time, he uses the extra time to check answers.

You will not be denied extra time if you have a diagnosis from a psychologist.  You would need to get the neuro psych testing done if you haven't already.

Wrong.  We are at a very selective private school and were completely denied the use of extra time.... unfortunately.[/quote]
