[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any feedback about the test itself? Aside from tech glitches [/quote]

Mine found a typo in one of the English questions, something about a misplaced comma that made all the answers [b] grammatically [/b] incorrect. They found the rest painfully boring and ridiculously easy, to the point where they needed to triple-check there wasn't some sort of trick involved (there wasn't).

But they did run across a couple of math problems that tripped them up, in spite of taking a refresher course over the summer. The problems looked familiar, and seemed like they should be simple enough, but somehow the logical approaches just didn't work as expected.

All of which sounds exactly on brand for my kid.

Surprisingly, even though they've always strongly preferred paper-and-pencil tests, they didn't mind the new digital interface. There were no technical glitches once the proctor was logged in, and they found it pretty easy to work in the digital environment. [/quote]

Sorry, that should read "logically incorrect."[/quote]
