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,

My son did the same thing at that age! I wasn't able to convince him to guess, even when I showed him the explanation in the handout that was sent to us. When I asked him about it later, he looked at it as a moral issue-- he wanted to be right on his own merits. LOL.
