[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do they work as adaptive tests? Where do they start? How does scoring work? Is the second grade test different than the fourth? [/quote] My understanding is that the test basically asks increasingly difficult questions, until your kid starts getting things wrong. Then they ask similar questions, to make sure they don't in fact know the material. This is how sometimes kids end up with grossly inappropriate (for their age) questions. They'll sometimes guess something correctly even if they have no clue what is being asked, but the luck runs out eventually, and by then, they would have seen a whole bunch of questions that are well beyond their level. Per DD, the math tests every year were different, but the English ones were the same. That made no sense to me.[/quote]
