[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP here: Truth- I exaggerated the score so that I would get a lot of responses.[/b]

I think we’re going to do geometry for the summer. He’s been doing basic geometry for a couple of years now and [b]Aops seems like a good place for him to get some math enrichment. [/b]

Thanks!  Also-  it’s an anonymous forum. [/quote]
New poster. This confirms it, from the horse’s mouth that 100% on IAAT was an exaggeration. My child took IAAT few years ago and I recall that the highest score was 99 percentile. Also I find it interesting that there’s so many AOPS boosters on this thread. [/quote]

It is possible to get 100% on the test, and to get confirmation of it, from the school.  So the people saying it's possible is correct (although they weren't in this particular instance).  As for AoPS, it's a good program.  We have done Beast Academy sort of loosely at home.  The type of thinking involved, is orders of magnitude beyond what would be required in school, and a good fit for kids that are already good at math and want to be challenged.[/quote]

It’s only possible if you actually request the full score from the school. If your kids has a high percentile score, you’re an idiot if you ask to see this. [/quote]

I don't disagree, but have you seen how some of the DCUM parents act?  Undoubtedly someone with high percentile scores will have parents requesting the details.[/quote]

I assume OP did b/c she said she didn't want to post the exact score in case the admin or teacher was on this website. I'm surmising she asked to see the score. [/quote]

Paranoid, no?  How many kids are there in 6th grade AAP that fit the description of 'Loves math and scored in the X percentile on the IAAT'?  [/quote]
