I have issues with the basic test and poor question format. Has anyone viewed the sample questions? If you have a kid who is an "over thinker" they are more than likely dead in the water. 
Some of the questions are, well ambiguous. A clock showing the time 8:30 with a girl standing by a bus. The question states: "what time did Sally start school"? I have one kid who will have no problem answering and has done exceptionally well on iready testing. I have another who would sit there for 15 minutes and say: well, if she gets on the bus at 8:30, then she would start school at 9am. She has to take the bus unless she lives close enough to walk, and most bus rides take at least 15 minutes and you are supposed to get there before the bell rings. She would click on the 9am option and get it wrong.

I just found that sample question, and I think you're grasping.  The question stated "What time did Mia go to school?" with a clock showing 8:30.  There isn't ambiguity, except perhaps for kids with poor reading comprehension.  [/quote]
