[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will have to wait and see if the kids who passed on math acceleration get in. I suspect kids who did advanced math will on average do slightly better on recommendations, interviews, and ultimately admissions. Skipping the more advanced middle math path is likely to long-term hold most students back (no Algebra in 8th means no calculus before college).[/quote] It’s going to kill your SAT math score. I mean you’ll spend thousands just trying to teach your kid enough calculus for a so so score. [/quote] The SAT only goes up to Geometry and coordinate Geometry, so has algebra, arithmetic, probability, too. No calculus or trigonometry, unless it's drastically changed since I was a SAT (and GRE) tutor. Accelerating too fast actually results in kids being too far out from Geometry and Algebra when they take the SAT (like a kid who take calc in 10th or even 11th), so they need to relearn that stuff before the SAT.
