Arkasas requires that homeschooled students take the same standardized tests that brick and mortar students take. Marc, who has done 2nd grade work this year in math and language arts, was required to take the 1st grade SAT 10. When I went to pick him up after his testing, the proctor approached me and asked if I was his mother. I said I was, and she proceeded to tell me that Marc is really smart (we knew that).
As she was giving the instructions for the test, she noticed that Marc was writing on his answer sheet. After she begain the test, she went to check on Marc to see what he was doing--maybe doodling or marking random answers. Get this: She said that he had his entire test done and answers bubbled in before she was done reading the directions for the test. She said she checked his test and he hadn't missed a questio!
I wish I would have thought to ask her what he did the rest of the time while others took the test.
