well, DS7 did the pre test this morning and did well on the math. 8 out of 10, he understood what he did on the 2 he got wrong.
the verbal was not as good, he got 5 out of 10.
we went over the test and well, it was difficult for me to understand why what he got wrong, was wrong.... I honestly don't really understand analogies.... so he looked to me for answers and I stood saying "Humma humma humma" (I get visual analogies just fine and could wax poetic on relasionships between different works of art.... but on word analogies I am thunderstruck)
Dh is slightly better at them and came up with some answers to explain to him what he did wrong.
So I guess we will get a book on how verbal analogies work...... oy
DH wins.
mmmmmmmmm..................... next time, next time.
