[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going by last year and the previous year, can any one chip in and say how many mistakes in IAAT still made the child to get 91% or higher.[/quote]

Best to just aim for no mistakes. Have your child get lots of practice on timed tests.[/quote]

I would not have my child practice for this test. A good foundation in algebra is extremely important for higher math. If the child is not ready for it in seventh grade, he is just not ready. Taking algebra before they are ready will just cause problems down the line. Kids will do better in algebra if they take it when they are developmentally ready.

I agree with you, but PP who has repeatedly asked for how many mistakes will still allow for a 91% or higher is likely readying a child for the January IAAT. Since the child will be practicing for the test anyway, might as well aim for timed test practice, which will be less stressful than "you can only have one mistake, sweetheart" practice.[/quote]
