I see your point Grinity. I guess I was just thinking that if he is learning, he should improve %-wise, but I think you are right. First, there just aren't enough questions probably for it to be particularly valid, and second I am looking at %, which doesn't make sense since he is being compared to kids two years ahead regardless. Maybe I'll be able to tell more when I get the actual booklet from JHU-CTY.
I guess, since he is only accelerated in math, I was hoping I would have something that I could look at from year to year to see that he is actually improving (not in math, but more in the other areas). Does anyone think the raw score from EXPLORE might serve that purpose? He will take it next month.
And he rocked the math part of SCAT this time- 99% compared to the older kids. Only here do I feel like I can say that!!! I hope it will help us get a bump up in math another year (he will have to pass a placement test, but there is some hesitancy to even let him take the placement test, even though he has been doing great in his accelerated class).
