[quote=Anonymous]Thank you.  That does help me understand it better.  I understand SAS is supposed to make the scoring fair across the span of ages in one grade...but to miss so few and get a much lower score than others in the same grade level, do you think older children are getting penalized for being older especially if the committee is only looking at age standard score and not raw score?  My son wasn't given the choice to move ahead a grade year though he was close to the age cutoff for FCPS and he's been taught at the same level as all the other children since K.  I did seriously consider having him start early but when I researched that it seemed like FCPS never allowed that unless you paid for private K and transferred into 1st.

He's finally getting a tiny bit of differentiation this school year.

I just wonder what other people think about that.  My oldest is bright and talented in his own ways but I can see how my 2nd should have scored much better on this kind of test.  And he did when you look at number of answers correct but his scores don't really reflect the difference I would expect.  I guess I should be grateful his verbal was all right.[/quote]
