Thank you for your reply Cricket2 and amylou. Yes, I'm also concerned about that, Cricket2. That the packet will not reflect the actual difficulty. The ones we printed off the website were very easy for him. My DS actually enjoys workbooks and filling in bubbles (go figure!). He will do anything happily as long as it is on his own terms and he wants to try a test prep workbook. I'm considering getting one of those for 8th graders. Does anyone have suggestions? Amazon shows a few types...by Barrons, Spectrum etc.

Thanks again.
