Incogneato & Dottie... thank you for your responses.

I'm very surprised that the 12th grade GE wouldn't include calculus. At what point or GE does calculus become a factor? If the test doesn't measure today's expectations, this may explain my school's hesitancy to consider achievement scores for any placement/modification decisions. Is this why I've read on this board about others testing on the SCAT and Explore tests?
