I am new to all of this and have lots of questions. First we are not sure where my daughter stands as of yet and we are not sure if we should get her further tested. She is just starting 2nd grade and is young for her grade as she just turned 7. She, on this years fall MAP test, scored in the low 200's in both math and reading putting her in the 99 percentile. Her teacher has reason to believe that she is brighter that what the test shows as my daughter finds the test tedious and annoying. She is almost always the last kids sitting there as the questions quickly get harder and harder. She has admitted to figuring out how the test works and said when she sees the kids finishing she just answers the questions wrong so she is not the last one sitting there. She said that when she takes the time to answers the questions right as she did in 1st grade she is left behind alone and then has to take the test the next day. This all has in turn caused her a lot of stress.
My questions: Has anyone else found this effect from the group testing?
Should she opt out? If she opts out should we test her further and why? If we test her further what test should she take?
