He is out of town now, but I remembered last night he was really high (type 1 diabetes) to test that day. His blood sugar started at 400 and was 200 by the end of the test. If I was locked in to group testing I never would test at those numbers. If he went to school, he would have a 501 plan to forbid it. He scored 75% on core battery with bad bg numbers. He did worse on social studies and science etc. the following day though. I am not sure that repeating is a good idea either. I will track down another algebra readiness test today.
His rough year was diabetes control due to growth spurt, many many long lasting bad viruses and strep with fevers, and some social issues with travel baseball. All these affected his motivation academically, but he still made a's in all subjects except Latin. Mostly, I am freaked out by how much his standardized test scores went down from previous years.
