[QUOTE="buddy, post: 525154, member: 12886"] He probably mixed up the reading directions with the actual reading part...there is not any reason a proctor would break such strict rules, with a small group of kids it would get out and they would be in huge trouble. The tests stink and I wish he didn't have to do it. I graduated at 17, started college then too...it did feel weird. But people thought I was smart, really it was just that is what the dates were back then, you could turn 5 by Dec 1. My BD is Nov 30. I was super immature for the early grades, it all came out in the wash by fourth grade. At least with the grad tests, they can do it again and again.... he can get special coaching for it too. (I hope so, I forget we are talking about your district, sigh)....every district I have worked in around here has had that and I have seen some pretty challenged students pass. Even kids who were deaf/english as a second language and years behind academically. Hopefully by then no biggie. Tell him to put all C's and be done with it, (kidding they can make them do it again if it is deemed unreliable) but it is in the directions to just do the ones that are easier to do at first, then go back and make their best guess.... remind him it is ok to get them wrong. I hated reading too... really hated it, I am a slow reader and just hated it so I really feel for him. [/QUOTE]
