[quote=Anonymous]My daughter was an awful test taker and a struggling student. She failed at least one SOL every year through 8th grade. She usually failed so bad that she was outside the retake zone. Her grades were fine (better than fine!). She is in HS now and passed two of her SOLs by a significant margin and had one more to do. Yes- she was “identified” along the way as someone that needed extra help. She got extra help at school and private tutoring. Her test taking skills and study skills have improved tremendously. While standardized tests can be stressful- they can also help “bad” test takers before the tests are high stakes. They also give early objective feedback to parents. So, my advice. Don’t sweat it. Let your kid be identified as needing some more help for next year. Help your kid with reading over the summer and keep reinforcing dc’s abilities if there is a future issue with failing. [/quote]
