<p>^Most advanced kids are done with algebra in middle school, and that should be a norm. Geometry is such a low level, that we should not be even mentionning it. I still suggest to open practice ACT / SAT booka and see for yourself. If it is a reflection of HS education, it is pretty shameful. To attach any notion of difficulty level to this test is pretty irrelevent. It has absolutely nothing to do with preparation to college academics and no wonder that even best of the best are pretty shocked in the first semester of college and large numbers are fleeing more challenging majors like science related and engineering.</p>
