It might have been a good idea to get a few Critical Thinking workbooks. We did not realize the test day would be so soon. He did previously pass a couple of initial screeners.

Unfortunately, he already knows he has to "pass" this test to go to his sister's school--that cat was out of the bag ages ago and would have been no matter what we did.

DS is very personable and friendly, so that may help. He establishes rapport easily.

The Hoagies link was helpful--thanks.
