My son (seventh grader) was asked to take the test for Duke talent search. He read through the small test prep pamphlet you get when you register so he would know what it was like. I don't think he took all of the practice test, maybe two sections and looked over the rest.
What I didn't know is that he already has an account and has been doing weekly test prep questions from Kahn Academy as part of his English class since the beginning of the school year. It never occurred to me that he was test prepping. He is accelerated into 9th grade English.
Are other 9th graders already working Kahn Academy test prep through the school?
If the idea is to out of level test to get a better idea of his raw ability, do you think this will skew how informative the results are?
