Your daughter should be very proud - nice, strong scores!!!

If it makes you feel any better, DD8 (3rd grade) took it in Feb. and I told her to "take a guess" on all items if she was running out of time - and she just didn't. So she told me she left 7 math questions and a science question BLANK, even though she had been advised to at least guess (sigh). My DD tends to do her own thing, but crazy ugh!

Truthfully, though - I was proud of DD for taking it. After the test, as I watched her emerge from the sea of "bigger bodies" (she was on her tiptoes trying to find me), cool as a cucumber, I was VERY PROUD of her. I think it takes courage for the younger test takers to stay poised and do their best.
