Thanks all. Quite honestly, in the past DS usually did not have to "prepare" much for a test... But we were always informed ahead of time before and told exactly what would be assessed. Even if we never did much with the info. The expectation, though, that kiddos will study is there. This time, I am thinking DS may want to study/prepare.. it is "accelerated", maybe he has to start studying now. And yes our tests count now... they count for if he will do accelerated next year, they could for if he will stay in the class this year. The class below this one has a big number of kids in it and he really is way too advanced for it. He has nowhere else to go, so if he has to teach himself the material to stay in the class so be it. All we need to know is what is covered because they skip around and don't use all of the chapters in the textbook - so she needs to tell us. Also, the test and quick check were on material that did not come him in homework packet so I can't count on that to inform us.
I know I must not be the only parent who is frustrated by this.
Also then she tells me DS has to study but doesn't tell me what he needs to study, etc.
