If it is this week my problem with this week is the time change. I wonder if kids can perform their best!

Yes--our school's is on the 11th. My friend's school has four 1st grade classes and they're scheduled on Tues, Wed, Thur, Fri.

Great! one of the 2 things for a good performance is sleep ( the other being food) and all kids are going to be at a disadvantage. FCPS should know better!!

But if they are all under a disadvantage, that means they will all enter the test under similar factors, which equalizes the time change "issue."

You do get that the time change applies to every kid, right?

But my kid took it 1 day after your kid, so we just took your spot at Harvard.

One thing to consider is that all the other kids have had the time change this week, too. The score needed to move into the pool next year will be partially based on the scores kids get on the NNAT this year and they will all have taken it the week after the time change. I wouldn't worry about it.

Yes, time changed for all kids. However, some kids are affected more than others. Parents schedule affects kids schedule. Early morning risers would have no change in performance. Late sleepers will be affected by time change. You are talking about the biological clock of a 6 or 7 year old. You can talk to any psychologist.

NNAT next week or last week would have made it a level playing field. Picking this week for NNAT was not a good idea.

Oh my gosh....seriously? Couldn't we say the same thing for the time of day it is given (morning v. afternoon)? Right before lunch v. right after lunch? The child sitting in a hot classroom, cold classroom or 'just right classroom." Let me guess: if your child gets a high score you'll think to yourself how much higher it would have been if the test was given last or next week!

This is a national test, so scores take into account how others kids around the US did.. so if they took it at another time, it's not all kids with the time schedule change.

Yes, the test is nationally normed, but the decisions about what scores are needed to move on to the pool are made locally. They take into account the percentage who score above a certain point and choose the cut off accordingly.
