[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sure that the committee members understand that, but unfortunately, without enough historic data, nobody can understand at this point the magnitude of the effect of the new county norming.  So for instance, I think that everyone understands that percentiles will be lower for scores normed in FC instead of nationally. But how much lower is lower? Is an 85% FxAT equivalent to a 95% CogAT? Or is a 90% FxAT equivalent to a 95% CogAT? This is not a linear process, so nobody can answer that question, and there is huge difference between the two example versions. Same with the absence of age-norming in FxAT. We all know that the percentiles of younger kids were affected but nobody can say if a FxAT of 85% non-age-adjusted from an August-born kid would be a 90% or even a 99% if age-normed. The committee members are people too, and therefore, will be differently affected by an 80% score vs. a 90%, even being fully aware that the new scores are normed in FC and not adjusted for age.[/quote]

But what you do not understand is [b]ONE SCORE DOES NOT MATTER[/b] as part of a screening file. The Committee looks at [b]MULTIPLE CRITERIA[/b] which means that they do [b]NOT[/b] look at [b]ONE SCORE ONLY[/b] but look at [b]MULTIPLE[/b] factors.[/quote]
