Hi Susan,
My 7 year old boy started EPGY April this year (when he was 6), and worked from K to Grade 4. He only did Math. We stopped at Grade 4 because I wanted him to have a few months' break. We then registered for LAW and he finished Grade 3 after 5 weeks.
For Math, he worked from K to Grade 2 in a week or two, 20 minutes a day. So if you are worried that he misses something, then I think you should not skip anything and just let him go through the materials quickly, like my son did. We did not skip anything.
I have another son who started at Grade 4 Math March this year, and now doing intermediate algebra (Grade 9). He also does 20-30 minutes a day. Only at grade 8 have we seen the pre-tests. This son did LAW Grade 2 to 6 in 3 months. All his sessions were 20 minutes a day, and he still does only 2 or 3 days a week. We do not skip anything for him as well.
Hope this gives you an idea how the system works, and that you can really go through the material quickly if need be, without skipping anything. If you choose to skip, you can check the strand to see if your son already knows the topic to be covered. If you skip something and that knowledge is required for certain topic at a higher grade, it can be quite frustrating for the kid - and parents.
