91 percentile for IAAT

[Anonymous]

Is the IAAT test offered to all students or AAP only? What is a raw score on average in the past that tends to put you over the 91 percentile? I understand that percentile depends on the difficulty of questions and the aptitude of the students appearing for a given year.

AAP only, and only if that student's family has not opted out of the test.

It’s given to all kids in 6th grade advanced math. If your ES child will be taking the 7th grade math SOL, they will also take IAAT. I don’t know the 91st percentile raw score. I do know that 56/60 was 98th percentile.

No. Gen Ed advanced math also takes the IAAT.

The IAAT is only given to six graders who are in AAP or level IV math. There are 60 questions, so a student would have to get at least 55 of them correct.

Sorry; I should have said Level Iii (not full AAP but pulled out for advanced math).

Nope, It's 91st percentile, not 91%. So a kid needs to do better than 91% of the kids taking the test. Is that nationally, in the county, in the school?

It is also given to 5th (or 4th graders) who are taking Advanced Math and will take the 7tg grade SOL for algebra placement.

This. Anyone who will take the 7th grade SOL

Yes,
My son took it last year and I remember reading that he could probably miss 15 or 16 questions and be above 91st percentile. I have found an old percentile chart somewhere. Obviously, it will vary from year to year depending on how all of the students do. Four sections of 15 questions each. I think they had 10 minutes per section, and son said he wasn't able to finish one of the sections, but still scored well above 91st percentile.

Will we be able to obtain a copy of the test to see what our students may have missed?

Interesting. I asked DC's 6th grade AAP teacher, and was told that she thought it was Fairfax County, but could be the state of Virginia. If nationally, that gives a huge edge to FCPS kids as they typically score higher than the national average on standardized tests.
