ERB Scores

[Anonymous]

My DD applying to 4th grade took ERBs for first time. Did fine in verbal, 8 but not in math, 4. Trying to get a sense of how other girls did in comparison who are applying to Holton, NCS, etc. Thanks.

For the school ERBs do they just test Verbal and Math i.e. 2 categories?

Is it in the national stanine or independent school stanine?

Opinions vary, but ERBs are just a way for schools to see how their students compare to other independent school students.

I would only consider ERB scores as providing "direction" for subject areas to focus on for potential help (for example, DD does very well in Reading section of ERB , but not Math---> does that reflect her subject grades?)


For very young students, this is their first standardized test (and since it moved online, it's their first chance to take a test on a computer)


Note: it is surprising easy to for large percentile swings for missing 4 or 5 questions...
