[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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]

My late August-born brother tested off the charts his entire life even though he was almost always the youngest in his class (redshirting wasn't the rage it was back then since parents weren't quite so crazy about micromanaging their kids lives and winning some imaginary race to I don't even know what).  All this whining is ridiculous.  A smart kid is going to stand out and as others have noted likely be identified by the multitude of other data points.  The lack of faith and insecurity on these forums is beyond belief.  Please get over yourselves!  We are typically talking about 7 and 8 year olds here.[/quote]
