Yeah, aeh, the online algebra 1 was a joke. The previous school year he did coursera.org AlgebraX which has the more typical Algebra 1 topics, but it was very conceptual without many practice problems. Then over summer I was worried because he skipped so many grades in math, so last summer I had him do Saxon 65, 76, Algebra 1/2 to check for gaps. It would be like pulling teeth to have him go through Algebra 1 again - to do the practice problems without learning new material. But if he can't solve those problems with accuracy, he needs to do it again.
What if he is fatigued and impulsive if testing continues after his medication wears off? What if he is over-tested and gives up? If they start at 6th grade in all subjects, that's going to be a lot of testing!
Aeh, do you think it would be reasonable to ask them to start testing at 9th grade level? They could go down from there if he scored lower than expected, but if he performed as expected it would save him from taking at least 9 unnecessary tests.
