[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for your thoughts. DC listens well and can read out loud  with ease. We have not seen any reading comp issues at home- we have done practice questions-thought it might help. Child has been at 3 different schools and has always maintained great grades. We wondered if everyone was getting these grades but from talking to friends with children at the schools we understand that is not the case. Completely baffled by the outcome of these  standardized tests. [b]PS We do not talk about these tests with our child so it does not appear to be an anxiety issue.[/b] [/quote]

This may be part of the problem because kids who do practice tests consistently score much better.

Not to be rude, but A's in class are meaningless here because class grades reflect soft skills like participation, good behavior, turning in homework on time, and mastery of grade level content. Kids who are of average intelligence with a good attitude receive the same A's as brilliant children with good attitudes.

Standardized tests measure knowledge and intelligence.
