[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math went up and Writing down but he was still in the top 25th percentile but there was a 200 point drop in the writing score.

I have no idea what we are supposed to take away from any of this because they don’t provide any real information. It is frustrating.

The teachers don't even know. I asked my DD's AAP teacher, and she said she had zero information about the score, the scale or what it all means. Such a waste of time, resources and money.[/quote]

Similar results here. My son had almost all of the reading questions correct in the Fall, and missed half of them in the winter test. Math score went up a little bit. I don't know what to do with the information.[/quote]

Same here. A part of me wonders if the kids who were perfect in the fall started with harder questions, because it is adaptive, and the questions they got wrong are because they started with harder material and got more wrong because they were taking a harder version of the test. [/quote]It sounds like the test mostly tries to pull questions from your kid's grade and then can fall back one grade level or go up one grade level.  Are these misses or correct answers counted in the "x out of y questions" counts?  Also, the reading tests are always contingent on the passage.  Your child could luck into an easy (or interesting) passage on one test and a more difficult (or uninteresting) one on another test.  My DC's vertical score increased on both math and science in the Winter.  But, others are finding that their scores decreased.
With math, the material hasn't even been taught yet for that grade.   Also, why can LCPS provide detail on the VGA but FCPS does not?[/quote]
