And when the info that he showed mastery of, with a moment in time SSAT score, but only had in short term memory in order to do well on the SSAT shows up on this placement test and he can’t actually do it, what exactly is the meaning behind the SSAT score then? So he bucked the system with a “great” single moment score on the SSAT which actually said very little of his true understanding of math. For the person above claiming that an improvement between 2 score dates shows he knows the stuff, my point is, it shows nothing when there is no proof the material is actually retained past the moment of the SSAT.
