Wrong! My kid in K absolutely knew how to do multi digit addition and subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and pretty much everything else in the 3rd grade curriculum. Yes, some kids actually are gifted or even highly gifted in math.

Max level that any child can cross is three level above. Your child must have taken at-home test scoring 4+ level.

Technically, he's 3 levels above, but his score is more than 40 points higher than the cutoff score for Level 5.

So you concluded your DC is in Grade 5!

Stated earlier in the thread: I have an older child in AAP math. My 2nd grader can run laps around that child. I'm sorry that you find the notion so difficult to believe.

Again: How high did your child score? Let me guess: Your child was on-grade level, but you're convinced that your child is so super gifted that you can't conceive that other children are actually much more advanced and that your child is merely above average. The main problem with AAP these days seems to be that every parent with a slightly above average child is convinced that the child is highly gifted.

There are many kids in this forum who scores WISC of 130+. Here is modern IQ ranges for various occupations

Do you think this child is smarter than engineers/lawyers/doctors? These tests are relative to age hence Level 5 can not translate to Grade 5 math.

What point are you trying to make here? Your chart shows that the 75th percentile for every single occupation is well below 130, and very few occupations even have people at the 95th percentile for that profession above 130. But FWIW, I'm both an engineer and a lawyer , and yes, my child is smarter than I am.

This was sarcastic correct???
If not...
Oh dear....this in a nutshell is the problem most outsiders have with this area. The fact that you make this statement as (we will assume with your reported professions) a highly educated adult is horrifying. What even is this? Do you compare IQ scores? Believe DC has more knowledge than you? If so...your poor child's teachers.

I think the point was how or why would you even have this thought process about your child especially at the age of 7 or 8? You have ascertained that your second grade child shows a better ability to aquire and apply knowledge than you? Come on...

How did you connect iReady specific to AAP?

Good grief! My child is more advanced than I was at that age and has a higher IQ than I do. I would imagine that a lot of parents could say the same thing. Your entire tangent about adults and IQs seems like a non-sequitur in this discussion pertaining to i-ready and whether a child could plausibly be multiple grade levels ahead.

This is the AAP forum. Aside from this thread, there have been other threads wherein people have been agitated that their AAP children were below or merely on-grade level in i-ready. Much like SOLs, it seems that when parents of children in AAP get on-grade level results, their obvious conclusion is that all of these tests are flawed, rather than that their children perhaps aren't as advanced as they imagine.

The dcum collective needs to make up it's mind, though. People frequently insist that being many grades above grade level is commonplace in FCPS, and most of the kids in an AAP classroom fit that bill. Yet here we are with a PP disbelieving that a child might be multiple grade levels ahead in math. So which is it: Is every child in AAP so advanced that it's expected, or is it so rare as to be implausible?

No..I would imagine not a lot of parents compare their IQ to their children's. In fact not many people in the normal population have a reason to have their IQ tested. This comment was attached to a post that brought up IQ so not really a non sequitur....

The level really does mean grade level. So if a student's overall score is level 5 that means 5th grade.

This explains how the scoring works and is from Curriculum Associates who created I-ready.

Interesting. This link also states that below- or above-grade level items are available when the student is performing off level from his/her own grade. Thanks for the link!

So most AAP kids should be at least 1 level higher than their grade level, correct?
