Is there an outside test to see if Mr. D "worked?"

[chilliepepper]

After a year and a half, my (now) 10th grade son has finally completed Mr. D. Algebra 1. Although most of his quiz/test grades are As and Bs (some after several attempts), I'm skeptical of his mastery of the concepts since he only did the written coursework sporadically and all of the quizzes and tests were multiple choice. Recognizing a correct answer (or randomly picking until you get it right) is different from coming up with it on your own.

 

Is there a test I could have him take, to see if he really got it? Maybe just do a Saxon placement test or something?

Just use a placement test from another math book - or two. Different books/courses will vary in scope and sequence. 

Online homeschool programs usually have these for free also.

Let’s Go Learn has a pretty thorough Algebra 1 test.
