domesticidyll Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Title says it all! DS will be largely through Intermediate Algebra when it would be convenient for us to take the test--would he have covered enough? And, if not, what's the best place in the sequence to take it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanetC Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 You can probably do it after intermediate algebra, too. Buy the college board math prep book and fill in any holes. DD changed curricula after AOPS Algebra and geometry. She needed to relearn a few trig formulas and practice, but it wasn't that bad for her despite using what this forum would probably consider a lighter curriculum thereafter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domesticidyll Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Thanks! Kiddo is in eighth now so there is no rush... He is doing a science sat 2 this spring, while it is fresh, and I thought it he's there anyway might as well add a second test. I might have him do a test run on math to practice time management, and have him take it for colleges next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what your goal is as far as colleges, but keep in mind that some will want to see all tests. So even if you are just considering it practice, it's probably a good idea to prep for it. Honestly, if this is his first SAT subject test, since he is young and has lots of time yet, I'd leave it at science for this year, and do math the following year. Then he can really focus on the prep for the science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, in case you are not aware, if you would like to retain any SAT/Subject Test scores taken before high school, you must submit a written request to the College Board. Otherwise, those scores will be erased from your testing record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetC Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 If he is in eighth, there is definitely no rush. Be sure to buy and use an official released practice test from the college board before taking any tests at this age. You don't want to hurt his confidence by sending him in unprepared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
