I can't go into the details right now, but I need to give DS an online assessment for grade level today! I have him set up to do the CTY one, but worry that it has a higher standard and will suggest a lower grade because it is for gifted kids. Would I be better to give him the Aleks one (my worry with Aleks is that it won't carry enough weight with the school).

Does CTY match up to state curriculum standards, or is it "accelerated" within each grade (so that CTY's 4th grade would be 5th or 6th in a regular school).

Thanks. I'll post the full story when I have the energy/time.
