Okay-- I think that I know what will satisfy your DH. I am married to a data-driven person as well, and he wanted to see NUMBERS that proved it. When DD was 6, we were homeschooling, and it didn't really seem like we had done much of anything in particular with her... so I had no real sense of how she "should" do on particular skills or anything that might have related to placement... everything that I looked at that reflected what was taught when, though-- it was stuff that she already seemed to know. Does that make sense? So it was quite confusing.
I ordered up an out-of-level CAT-5 complete achievement battery from
Family Learning Organization and had DD take it, which she found mostly entertaining in the extreme, except that she didn't like ME reading the directions TO her (as is proper in proctoring such things).
Anyway-- that's what I'd do if you're in the United States, as it might give you a better sense of things without a lot of cost or stress.
That's the magical thing that allowed us to place DD in 3rd grade as a 6yo-- she 99'ed everything on the test (upon reflection, we should have ordered the 4th grade one once the 2nd grade test came back completely ceiling-ed like that-- just FYI, I mean).
