Hi all. We are new to EPGY, and enrolled in the open program. My daughter, 9, used Saxon math through 7/6, then Alex, where she flew so quickly through the levels, I wondered if it was even helping her at all. We just recently made the switch to EPGY, hoping for a challenge. It placed us at the grade level for her age, but I've bumped her a couple of levels til I saw the average correct percentage dropping a little from 100. :-) Well, she is completely hating it. She says it gives her the same EXACT problems almost every day, to the point that she has memorized it. I sat with her yesterday while she worked, and sure enough, she spouted off the answers from memory. I don't call this profitable review. Also, the lectures don't really seem to give a complete overview of the problem at hand, so I have to give a bit of an explanation myself. I suppose I am used to Aleks, where an explanation of each problem is given, and an explanation of the explanation, too, in some cases. :-) Has anyone else had this problem, or do you have advice for a new EPGY user?

There is a gifted setting, which should give you less repetition. Our administrator changed this setting for us. I am not the best person to offer advice, though, since we only used EPGY for about 6 months, over a year ago.

We're using it a a lower level but there is not a lot of interesting variation in it. It will have a couple of variations on a problem and repeat them over and over. I had to do some sessions myself to get past particularly boring parts.

Is this someone in my group? If so please email me with details so it can be corrected.

We are not members of a group, but would like more information on joining one. We are in Dallas.
