Update: my kiddo came home last night and said what he liked the most about having a scribe was that he could give the full answers that were in his head.
I asked him about the reading test, and he said that most of the questions about the topics were quite easy and that he even provided advice to the company that made the test regarding next year's test. When I asked him how, he explained.
"One question asked if I was sitting in a car going the same speed, could I sense the motion or not. I explained that they shouldn't ask questions in a vacuum because the question failed to provide enough information to adequately discern the motive of the question. Had they considered the texture of the road? Was it bumpy or smooth? Did the vehicle have windows where the viewer could tell things were moving by quickly. What about the road itself? Were there turns or curves that would create a sensory event for the passenger when direction changed despite the speed staying constant? I recommended that they consider asking better phrased questions if they wanted more accurate answers."
I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall to see the scribe's face as he jotted down that particular answer...
