[QUOTE="buddy, post: 525151, member: 12886"] One other thing that we tell kids is that the test is meant to get harder and harder so that everyone gets to a point where they can't do it, that way when he starts not being able to answer, he wont worry over it. I hate them too. I am glad that Q got switched to the adapted kind, not the lowest one but the middle one that we have now. the choices are put in front of him and he picks the answer out. he did much better on that. Your boys are too high academically for that, but I wish there was a way to opt out....it is just too stressful and there are better measures of progress for kids. I get the reasons it is good for measuring group trends, following how he is doing comparing one year to another etc. But there are other ways...uggg, sorry it is hard for him. HUGS TeDo, you are an excellent mom... [/QUOTE]
