Yes it is a "bubble-in" test. And yes I do believe that is what happened. That would explain a 40% point drop from one yr to the next with HIGH science scoring. Also the fact he has straight A's.
I know he had problems at the beginning of the year with bubble tests. He got a "D" on a religion test. He thought he got the wrong test back. He wanted the teacher to score it by hand.
He missed #11 filled in and ended up with 21 out of 20 questions.
He was more careful after that. His ITBS testing was in the first 3 weeks of school.
Thank you for "outlining" different tests. There are so many I didn't have a starting point.
I am going to look into different options for him.
Are there any recommendations for testers ? I do not have to stay close to home I would take him to a tester that understands my "Brillant disaster". He is disorganized and I really need to train him to FOCUS. He makes stupid mistakes, like he had a test on The Great Horn Spoon and he skipped an answer not because he didn't know it and was coming back to it...just missed it.
He just matter of factly said " i missed it, don't know how I didn't see it" UGGG it's irritating to me now (didn't bother me before) because on a "Bubble In" that can be a disaster. The ones he answered were correct still an A and he really didn't like the book.
I have told him about the ITBS score and the reason for not getting into adv math. I also told him I felt it was due to "sloppy error" and this summer we are going to work on that... NOW the question is HOW ?
