[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is 265 and steadily 98/99. Got into CES and TPMS, so don't be discouraged by viewing the mean as a bar. You don't know how high or low the range strays. [/quote]

Did he get into Blair? Not sure how this is relevant if not.[/quote]

I'm trying to share my positive non-panic attitude, I guess. [/quote]

I’m not panicking at all. That my kids score is the mean of those admitted is great and very encouraging! He’s steadily 99th percentile. Just not one of the kids with 300+ scores. I know he’d do very well in the program but we’ll see.[/quote]

300 and 270 are both 99% for the fall of 8th, and they use the percentile since the test wasn't designed to differentiate between fractions of a percent.[/quote]

That’s not what they said on Monday night.[/quote]

It sure was.[/quote]

Were you actually there? What he said was that he didn’t remember the exact mean MAP score but that parents could email him to find it out. He did not say anything even remotely like the actual score doesn’t master anyway because we look at percentiles only.[/quote]
