Leslie took the state math exam last month. Here's a link to the actual exam if you want to try it yourself: http://science.uvu.edu/math/smc/pdf/JuniorExam2009.pdf

We just got the results back, and she scored 27th in the state (out of 352 seventh graders who took the exam). To put that in perspective, she got a 76 on the exam; the median score for 9th graders (who took the same exam) was a 59. And only the kids most interested in math even attempted the exam; for example, I think just 5 seventh graders from her school took the exam this year.

So, in short--congrats to Leslie!
