The last step is the IOWA readiness test. Does anyone here have any info on the test? I am wondering how difficult it is, etc. She has been working on algebra outside of school for a while now (through Kumon)so I am thinking it should not be a problem...

Given that she is only 10 and in 5th grade I guess that is pretty good! I was on the fence as to actually enroll her but I think she is ready. Last edited by Nutmeg; 05/28/14 08:59 AM.
