An Algebra Aptitude test is available through Bob Jones University Press Testing Pages   and it seems like a great idea for before starting algebra.  From what I read about it many high schools use it to tell if a child is ready for algebra or not.

     

Saxon is is the number 1 homeschool math program.  It builds on itself, and has LOTS of practice.  Saxon is great for students who are struggling in math or who excel at math.  USE THE PLACEMENT TESTS!  I can not stress enough how important the placement tests are.

Teaching Textbooks

Founded by two Harvard educated brothers who realized the usefulness of technology in teaching math, Teaching Textbooks is designed to make learning math in a homeschool setting the best possible experience. Since it was designed specifically for homeschoolers, the text is self-explanatory for independent learners, and the hundreds of hours of DVD/CD teaching allow students to work through problems with a tutor in the comfort of their own homes! Plain language, friendly fonts, highlighted phrases, constant review and flexibility make Teaching Textbooks one of the most popular math programs available

 

This system does not require a teacher guiding you every step of the way, so it's very clear about instructions, employing an easy, conversational style of writing.

 

Illustrations, examples, and graphs have a hand drawn look to them, and problems use engaging real life illustrations.

 

Teaching Textbooks uses the review method, helping students through difficult or new concepts, and increasing long-term retention.

 

It has an audiovisual lecture, practice, and solution CDs for every chapter, homework and test problem. With such a support network, you'll never be stumped again!

High School Math Teaching Textbooks

Key Curriculum Press has a awesome set of books called The Key to  for the reluctant mathematician or the young gifted mathematician who is not ready for a high school math book. 

Imagine math made easy and fun.  I love these books!

Teacher have used them instead of texts, with texts, and prior to texts.  They are just great tools.  I have included the whole series here and recommend them whole heartily.
