Iowa Test of Basic Skills




Emery brought home a practice test for the ITBS, a standardized test that they are taking next week. Some schools practice and study for weeks prior to taking this test, but Emery is at a priviate Montessori school so they don't do much preparation.

Now, our son doesn't even get grades at his school, so this should be very interesting. I have to say I am just a little nervous about it. We know he's really bright, but we haven't measured it in traditional ways up to this point. Now we are going to have this test come home to tell us how he is doing. It's workin on my nerves a little, I must say.

Emery keeps saying the practice tests are fun - so I keep telling him that's exactly the right attitude to have. He takes the test next week.
