Used by who? FCPS? If so, do kids need to be at least 1 grade level ahead or what are levels?


Yes FCPS. And no one knows. The iReady scores were included in packets this year but no one knows what the Committee is looking for from the scores.

I thought it would be dumb on my part to not expose my child to the type of questions asked when a good part of the Fairfax world is enriching their kids with out-of-school enrichment classes.


They take it three times a year. There's plenty of exposure.

Haha

Do you actually believe that? You've been fooled. Of course it's a GT program.

Since i-Ready is more of an academic skills test than an IQ test, I wonder if you could adequately prep for it by getting your hands on OLSAT and ITBS practice tests.

It’s a diagnostic test. Why prep for it?
