When I was h/s my DD14, I made her take the WA state standards test every year just so that I would know that she was progressing more than anything.

In order to understand higher levels of science, you have to know the basics. If your DD is doing fine at the higher levels, she's got to have the basics down. We all have stories about things our kids know that we didn't teach. Maybe your DD just naturally "gets it". If so, I say power on!
