On the timed digital test, she froze up watching the countdown timer. After a few practice runs, she's learned to pace herself. I'm so glad we discovered this now!
The benchmarking showed us honestly where our child sits compared to others. It helped us have a realistic conversation about expectations and what to focus on next.
I can't believe I'm saying this but this was actually fun.
