I suspect my ds will bomb the ERB (by NYC standards, meaning he will have scatter and won't get an overall high score). He is smart but has very weak fine motor skills. Older dc had the same and looked bad until she took the ISEE (for entry into 6th and up). On that test the kids fill in the bubble with the pencil and it is all academic, weak fine motor skills don't matter any more. Any advice for building up motor skills, or even for getting a clear picture of how bad the ERB score might be for my younger one? How about taking the SB for a preview score? Would that give any real info? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

its likely not just fine motor skills, but also visuospatial perception that is not developed as yet. harder to prep out developmental differences [ Reply | More ]

Weak fine motor only matters on coding. And if kid if THAT bright, he'll STILL get 99/99/99 even if he bombs that. [ Reply | More ]

There are smart kids with excellent fine motor skills. TTs will want to cream the top. [ Reply | More ]
