How funny, those K12 placement tests were a eye opener for us too! We too had no idea how our DD then only 3, happened to know enough to pass the assesment tests. We even had to fudge her birthdate, since they only have Math assesments for K entrance and up. We did call the placement coordinator, and had them create an account for us to "pretend DD was older and ready to take the Language Arts assesment" Boy were we floored, when those results came back.
Amazedmom, we could have DD's cut from the same cloth. Mine just seems to know things without ever having studied them. We liken it to her being born with all the answers to everything already programmed in her brain, and she is just going through her life being exposed to everyday things, and they then trigger the opening of the vault and all the pieces fall in place....and BAM, she just knows it!
Our concern has been, that she will be bored having to sit through everyone else learning how to do what she already knows, however, we need her to show us that she knows how to arrive at Mathematical answers. (so many times, we have heard he say...."it is just the correct answer, so I wrote it down")
You are in for a ride..hang on! :-)
