[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Hello All, Was wondering how the 91% is calculated ?. So out of 60 questions how many questions needs to be correct or how many incorrect answers can be ? . Heard that its calculated with some kind of comparison with other kids performance in the same class. so was confused with the calculations . Please share information on it .[/quote] It's not based on performance of kids in the same class. It's based on national norms. So, if they had 10000 kids in the national norming group, your child would need have a score equal to or higher than the 900th best score to have a percentile rank >= 91%. The norming group isn't filled with advanced kids or kids in pre-algebra. It's just filled with a regular cross section of kids at that grade level. In FCPS, way more than 9% of the kids taking the IAAT will meet the 91st percentile benchmark because they're only testing the kids in AAP/advanced math. [/quote]
