How do kids do on standardized tests?
How do kids do on standardized tests?
"We did a number of studies around the SATs... across the board, in every single SSAT comparison, the kids in IMP always did as well, if not better-and some significantly better- on the SAT, both in the mathematics and the verbal. There is not one study where the IMP kids did worse."

Is IMP honors as rigorous as traditional honors math?
Is IMP honors as rigorous as traditional honors math?
Yes! The rigor is defined differently than it may be in our traditional honors courses. IMP requires students to create their own understanding through deep group investigation. To allow this to happen, we spend more time on each concept than the traditional honors course does, thus the pace is slower. However similar level questions are asked on assessments and the added requirements of writing portfolios, making class presentations and extending your analytical thinking through POWs makes up for the rigor lost in pacing.
