The best is the end of year tests, of course not on the same day, there isn't really a rush now that some action is agreed on. I would stongly advise that they have a GATE teacher sit down and observe and interact with your DD to find out how she is getting her answers. My son could do pretty complicated division 'by inspection'50% of the time, but he still needed to be taught more efficient ways to get the job done.

You should absolutely ask how they plan to figure this out. And then if they do recommend a big skip, I would go to www.aleks.com/ and sign up for a free trial this weekend and see what she can do with my own eyes. I would bring printouts of the kinds of problems she is doing and work samples in her handwriting.

In other words, I would access my kid myself first, and then let them do their thing at school, and see if the results match up.

Love and more Love,
Grinity
