Ok, I have already decided on LHFHG for next year, but just wanted experiences with testing. (I know, I know, equivalent to a 4 letter word, but humor me ).
I am a former teacher so the testing thing is just ingrained, plus my state requires testing. Of course I want him to do well.
So, I was just curious what your experiences have been after using HOD when testing time came. From what I see, it looks like he'd have to do very well, but I just like to hear from those of you that have been there, done that.
Testing after HOD?

I will just say that we are about to test and I looked over the test and was very relieved. We do not even have to turn in results but I have never tested before. But I feel like my kids are perfectly prepared and I know they will do fine. That is not a really complete answer but it is the only one I have.
I know there was a thread about this a while ago so hopefully some others will chime in too.

My daughter took the CAT. It's the one with all the subjects and she did very well, IMO. I just wished some of the questions were just a bit more clearer. Some could have gone a different direction but I guess they ment to do that. The science and social studies was again really general. I was so worried about multiplication and division and there were only 2 multiplication problems on the test and no division. I didn't give her the test, my mom did while I kept the littles contained. This past school year she used Rod and Staff, half of Beyond and a 1/3 of Bigger before taking the test.

We've done all of HOD's guides, and we just finished Bigger Hearts for His Glory before testing a few weeks ago. My ds did very well on all areas of the test. I credit HOD's guides for preparing him so well for the testing. I thought he'd be nervous about it, but he wasn't stressed at all. If testing can ever actually be a "positive" experience, this came pretty close to i!
