[quote=Anonymous]MAP-M doesn't go in to higher-level HS math. If a student has been exposed to concepts through Algebra II and have some aptitude, they are likely to get a very high score. One can see the score distributions starting to advance less and less grade by grade beginning around 7th or 8th. This is despite a significant percentage of the upperclass HS population (nationally -- the percentiles are determined at that level) becoming exposed to PreCalc and Calc. High scores in early grades can be impressive, and I would not want to say they are meaningless, either as a source of pride or as one possible indicator of a high level of learned material (whether from MCPS teaching or from other exposure). However, they, by themselves, really don't identify prodigies, and the comparison of elementary students' scores to the learning levels of graduating seniors is a bit off.[/quote]
