Advanced Math Placement?

Question

Hello, I'm a student in the 7th grade and I have a few questions about advanced math placement. You see, they had the test in 6th grade and I wasn't given the opportunity to take this test. But I really want to be in advanced math. I am in regular math and it is really easy and my friend and I finish before most people in our class, and it's really frustrating.

My second question is what can I expect to be on the test if I ask/am given the test(if i make it I will do Algebra 1). I need to know so I can study for it.

My third question is how do I go about asking my teacher. I don't want to sound snobbish or anything, especially not in front of my other classmates. My friends say I am too smart for regular math and I agree with them. I am also in Academic Bowl in school, and I am the only member who isn't in advanced math.

Thanks so much for helping, this really means a lot to me :)

Answer 1

Ask your teacher if you can speak to him or her after class and explain that you don't feel challenged in math class. Ask if there is any way you could try to get placed into a higher class. Try as hard as you can this could really affect what you do in life.

Good luck!!!
