[QUOTE="seeking.IAM, post: 77385694, member: 27709"] Other possibilities: it might be a bad test or there is a problem with the definition of where they have drawn the line for what "proficient" is. I wonder if I could pass this test.? It's been decades since I sat in a math class. I stopped after the second year of Algebra. No trig. No calculus. Have forgotten my geometry formulas. Yet, I know my way around a balance sheet, do my own taxes, and dabble a bit in the stock market,. I can calculate a mean, mode, median, and standard deviation and know how to use them. I can work wonders with a calculator and Excel. Still doubtful I can pass this test. On the other hand, I talk to a lot of kids and like to ask about favorite and worst school subjects. Probably 8 out of 10 say math is their worst subject and lowest grade. When I run into the rare student who likes or excels in math, odds are they are an honor roll student excelling in all their classes. I'm not sure what the take aways are from that, but that is what I hear in my informal poll. [/QUOTE]
