I would suggest getting the book, looking it over, and deciding for yourself. Possibly give him the first test and see how he does. You know what he's ready!

The one thing that's important is that Saxon is a textbook; you have to do the work seperately, copy the problems and write down the answers, that sort of thing. If he's not used to this it could give him some trouble.

They make him do that in A/O too...he has to re-write the problems and work them. But they give them the space to do it.

Saxon has a website with a 'placement test' on it to see where your child falls in their curriculum. I'll look it up and post it in a minute or two.

Sir Suzi Q created a worksheet for our ds. There is room on it for all 30 problems. He just looks at the book, reads the problem, then does the work and writes the answer in the block with the corresponding number on the answer/work sheet. I posted it to a homeschool website, I'll give you that too when I give you the Saxon site addy.
