We would also give a release version of an 8th grade science OAA to confirm state standards are mastered and to know if there are any specific gaps in content. Of course, we would also want a recent cog score for that part of the Acceleration scale. </div><div><br></div><div>Colleen Boyle</div><div>Gifted Coordinator, Licking Co.

I have been asked to help accelerate a student who is taking 6th grade science to 9th grade physical science. What assessments can I use to make sure he is ready for that?
