We use EPGY and my son just finished 3rg grade. I was worried about the same thing. It took a month for my son to finish the third grade work and just over 2 for the 4th grade. He slowed down at 5th grade. While the third grade was easy for him I am glad they had him do it. The work was a lot more in depth then he was used to and it gave him practice with in problem solving he wasn't used to.
Since the program is adaptive, meaning that the program will give more problems when the child is having difficulty and less when a subject is done well it was not boring. He loved it when he got something he know and after 4 problems it changed subjects. He would get excited and point out that he already knew that. Then the concept would not return. It was done.
That being said, I have talked to parents who have had EPGY adjusted to the child's level. They spoke directly with EPGY or directly with their tutor and it was adjusted. We had the tutor stop the timed math facts that would pop up before each section since my son already was quick with them it just became an exercise in typing instead of math. There was no problem getting that removed.
I am very satisfied with EPGY.
