My 8th grade TPMS magnet kid says that a bunch of kids in the magnet got scores in the low 300s. These are kids that apparently prepped for the test for about a month (!). I thought that 300 was the top score. Does it go really go above 300? |
The valid range is 100-350. https://connection.nwea.org/s/article/Is-there-a-max-RIT-score-a-student-can-get?language=en_US#:~:text=There%20is%20no%20maximum%20or,difficulty%20of%20the%20questions%20asked. |
What’s the use of such high score |
My son is one of them. There's a "300 club" at TPMS, and all of them are in math varsity team. They don't prep for MAP-M test at all, but take the test seriously. There are also other kids in other MSs scored in lower 300s. |
There is none. |
DC first broke 300s on one of the subtests when they were 11 @TPMS, and although they were on the math team they weren't in the magnet lottery. |
300 club, Seriously? Lol |
Purely bragging rights since it serves no other purpose. |
What about MAP-R? same upper limit? |
Let me guess. Your kid does lacrosse? Good for these kids for striving for math goals. |
Very cool!
And shame on the people on here who don't value striving in academics. |
Yes, but a score of 270 is above the 99% for grade 12 to put things in perspective. |
One thing to get a good score, another to imply that you kid belongs to some special clique. Equally laughable if someone calls his/her sporty kid as a member of “starter circle” or “40 points gang”. Very tacky! I bet the teachers didn’t name it. |
There’s a different between striving and insufferable bragging. |
(Sorry, “difference”) |
