Mimmy Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Does anyone use and like (or dislike) the singapore math tests? We are finishing 1B and moving on to 2A and I wonder if they would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahliarw Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I used them just as a diagnostic tool to make sure my ds is "getting" the concepts and there are no gaps. But you could easily do that with the reviews in the textbook/workbook if you wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I've never used them, but haven't felt like I needed them either. I use the (free) placement tests at the end of a book to make sure everything was understood/retained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoGal Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 We used them last year and I liked them. I felt they were a bit more advanced than the workbooks. I would have continued using them, but we added Beast Academy and now don't have enough time to do all the Singapore books. I might add them back in later, though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I got them this year in 5 to do instead of Extra Practice on topics I felt my son needed additional practice. Of course, this would be the year he started picking things up without needing the extra practice. :rolleyes: I use the placement tests on the Singapore site as end of book tests & use the reviews in the text to see if we need to go back over any material. We use the standards edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitterpatter Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 We're finishing up 1B. We have just been doing the reviews in the workbook. We use a lot of supplements, though.

Mom2TheTeam Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 We only just stared 1B, but at the end of 1A, I used the placement test on their website to make sure he is ready to move on. I plan to do this after each book. So, he will basically have one test every semester just to make sure he is getting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
