[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP we are going to CHC as well. I’ve set up 4-6 hr of tutoring over next 2 weeks (we use Huntington learning center in timonium) and I expect DS will test out at that point. (He got a 62 in the first round.)  it might be worth trying if he’s already taken Alg 1 - use the practice test to guide the tutor. But 4-8 hr of tutoring vs a whole class seems like an easy call. Just ask for a date in a few weeks for the retest. Worth a try at least. I’ve found them to be very accommodating. [/quote]

OP again. He scored a 44 so not even close to testing out. Sigh. Oh well. Maybe he can work on Khan Academy this summer. He took Algebra 1 in 7th and didn't do well. I had him retake it in 8th and he is ending the year with a B. He did the study guide that CH put on their website but there were 2-3 pages on it that he didn't know. He hadn't covered any of it in 7th or 8th grade. So who knows? I was looking through their publications yesterday and it seems like the vast majority of boys take Algebra 1 in 9th grade. Maybe the test really is hard.
