That is my hope also. DD14 is not at all into test prepping, but usually does quite well and has pretty much no test anxiety. I figure her relative score will be better against un/under-prepped kids than it would be most other years.

Last week her post-test mood was pretty much the same as always - when I ask how it went, I get a blase "Eh, it was OK."

Best of luck,

For gifted children, doing nothing is the wrong choice.
