[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I do wonder if the kids taking the extra long time are mostly kids who have outside non-parental coaching on how to do their best on the test. My DCs have some pretty basic limits on how long they will bother with something, even when told it is not a race to finish first, etc.[/quote] My child takes a very long time. She is in second grade and seems to be really good at math, naturally and without any kind of “non-parental” coaching. Parental coaching has involved some simple fractions when we cook, because she likes that. But she is good at math, and not a super-gifted prodigy, so while she is good at figuring out concepts she hasn’t learned, she still goes slowly because if she gets something like 138 + 264 she has had to figure it out by adding the parts up and without the computing knowledge that older kids have. She has a high tenacity and doesn’t give up, so she gets very high scores but she does take a long time to get there. [/quote]
