I know an after school here that uses a combination of RM and Singapore. They place/group students by placement testing, without regard for school grade. I think, like any other approach, a great deal depends on the implementation. Ask the specific instructors what their approach is.

Hi 22B. I'm sorry, just seeing this. DS6 has only been using it since the last week of June and we were on vacation over the 4th so I don't feel confident commenting at this point. I will try to later, though, when we have a better sense of the program.

sorry to get off the main topic here but would like to ask if you are happy with the pace of EPGY? I had the administrator change her setting to gifted but I find that there is still a lot of repetition. Perhaps I need to go up half a level? DD is getting 95 to 98% correct from making careless errors. DD6 is ready for mid level 3rd grade math but since she had very little instruction, I chose 2.5 grade level to make sure she won't miss anything. So far she is enjoying it but groans when she gets the same questions over and over. TIA!

We've just been doing it when we remember, as we're in summer mode. So, not every single day. I did bump him up to 2nd grade, even though he also tested at mid third. He gets concepts, but like you said has had no instruction. He also groans when there's a repeat
