Test results came in!

Post by jjcmehl » Sun Feb 13, 2011 6:23 pm

I wanted to share with everyone our CAT-5 standardized test results. (Required in MN to test yearly, though glad we don't have to submit them to the superintendent.)

My DD scored in the 99% percentile. (Grade equivalency 11.5)
My DS scored in the 98% percentile. (Grade equivalency 6.6)

Thank you Carrie and HOD for such wonderful guidance, book and curriculum choices!

Wow! How long have you been using HOD? Have you always homeschooled your children? Just curious! That is AWESOME!

Thanks everyone. The children have always been homeschooled. We have been using the CM method since day 1, HOD for 1 year (using Singapore Math since the beginning).

Just now reading this!

So happy for you!

I can't emphasize enough how nice it is to hear of a long-time CMer getting such high test scores!! We've only been homeschooling for 2 years now. I've wondered how children do in the long run using the CM approach. Great, great news!

Celebrating with you!
