You seem very defensive about the validity of iready.  So, how did your kids perform on it?  Is your main gripe that you're convinced your children are above grade level, but iready said otherwise?  That seems to be the theme on this forum.  [/quote]

No one seems to want to answer this, and the silence speaks loudly.   :lol: Did anyone at all out there have a child score multiple grade levels ahead and think that the score is unreasonably high?  Or is all of the angst because the scores are lower than people would like?  [/quote]

Iready is simply an achievement test, not an ability test. It’s  very possible a student could have performed on grade level but still have the potential to do more advanced work. Perhaps this student just hasn’t been exposed to higher level math yet. It doesn’t mean they woukdnt be able to handle it if it were taught to them by a competent teacher.[/quote]

An achievement test like i-ready should be part of the application for AAP since the name of the program is Advanced Academics. It can't be prepped for and you can't go and shop around for lenient testers or pay to take multiple ability tests if you don't like the results from the school. If you are merely on grade level you don't need an academically advanced program. Your needs can be met in general Ed. If a child is reading at a second grade level and doing second grade math, they shouldn't be in AAP at THIS time. If they surge ahead in third grade or fourth then they can enter then.[/quote]
