[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What grade? ES it doesn't matter. HS does have some classes that you have to pass the SOL.

If your kid is in ES, I would look at practice questions and help her get comfortable with the format. She has to pass some eventually, use this as practice for taking this type of test. [/quote]

Nope.  This should be happening at school. Not at home. Signed FCPS teacher [/quote]

I am not a big fan of letting my child fail when I can help them pass. I would rather take the time to teach my child test taking skills so that they learn how to take a test properly because at some point in time, they need to be able to pass standardized tests on a computer. Allowing my kid to develop test anxiety is not acceptable. [/quote]

Isn't it adaptive? The SOL test will be over more quickly and it will ask your child easier questions. Just don't make a big deal about your child's crappy scores and it's not going to promote test anxiety.

Focus on content, not test-taking practice. At most, have her do it once so you get a better gauge at what she is missing. At the elementary level, failure is more likely to ding the school and may help make the case to them to put more resources toward your kid.[/quote]
