Hello all--
I homeschool my HG+/2E 13yo. Last year he took the ITBS a year ahead of level with the accommodation of extended time and got a composite score at the 98th percentile. (This is in stark contrast to the year before where he didn't receive accommodations and scored on level at the 63rd percentile.) The testing was done at the local public school and the accommodations were documented on his 504 plan.
We are required to test each year. Since it takes quite a bit of time and energy on my son's part, I like the scores to have some value. I don't think the ITBS (or whatever the high school equivalent is called) even a few years out of level is going to give any new information this year and I'm hoping to have him take either the ACT or the SAT instead.
He needs testing accommodations and I'm wondering if the powers that be grant them to "underage" students. Has anyone here had experience with this? Any insight at all would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
