It can influence your childs "ability group placement and determine future educational opportunities up to and including college, she believes. FREQUENTLY the tests are a measure of information rather than intelligence. Silberman cites the standardized test question that asks for a word similar to dollar, peso, mark, lira tegory: change, purchase, bank." from this franc, ca- foreign, d A child may recognize franc as being the proper selection.
