[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If its really high where would the improvement come from? They don't teach 90th percentile math in K. So unless you're supplementing heavily he is not learning new things. The testis self adjusting. So if he gets a correct answer then he gets a harder questions. The test goes beyond K concepts. 
They are normed by county or state as well. 
My kid was at 99th percentile in K and is now at 96th. Since more kids are catching up to her. We do a lot of math outside of school because she enjoys it. But i have no idea what is on the test and if it covers what we are learning. [/quote]

It’s this. MCPS doesn’t teach 90+ MAP percentile math to kids because to score that high a student needs to be doing things that are grade levels above their actual grade. The easiest time to do that is in K so unless you supplement at home, you’re likely to see your kid’s score start to even decline. It’s not an aptitude test. It tests whether a student has been exposed to and therefore can answer questions about mathematical concepts. [/quote]

Maybe you hadn't noticed MCPS doesn't teach 90%+ kids in any grade. If a kid is above grade level in ES, they get nada.[/quote]
