[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We are having my 2E 6th grader prep for the IAAT so that they can do their best[/b]. We probably won’t have them take algebra in 7th grade, even if they qualify, though. When I was growing up, you only had to take 4 years of high school math so if you were accelerated and took 9th grade math in 8th grade, you didn’t have to take math senior year. In FCPS, you have to take 4 years of math in high school, so if a student is too accelerated, they will have to keep taking harder math in their junior and senior years. Doesn’t seem worth it for a kid who doesn’t love math. [/quote]

This makes no sense.  The IAAT is supposed to be a test for algebra readiness and is a test of at skills.  If your DC is paying attention in class and learning math, that's the appropriate preparation for the test.  Nothing else.  [/quote]

The Iowa is all about speed and it’s the first timed test a lot of these kids will take[/quote]

Strongly agree with statement the test really comes down to time.  [/quote]
