LOL! Good rant for today!
Last year I gave DS7 the other common test besides the CAT: the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) for his grade level. With my college education, I'm allowed to give it to him myself. But really, it was so easy for him that it almost hurt. I kept rolling my eyes as I administered it...But homeschool organizations generally frown upon our submitting above-level tests to the schools. I think they like the high test scores making our group look good. As I am more interested in what's good for my particular child, that's not really my concern.
But I DO want him to pass! The notion of an HG+ child needing remediation because he didn't score high enough on a test 4 grades above level seems insane to me, but I'm sure the school would insist upon it! No thanks!
Thanks for the tip about Prometric. I'll check on it now!
