[quote=Anonymous]The grades that count all all four quarters of 7th grade, and the first quarter of 8th grade.

Math, English, Science and Social Studies.

(I think they got an extra "quality point" added to the grade if it was an advanced math class.

So if you child takes algebra in 7th grade and earns an A that is 5 points, not 4

Taking Geometry in 8th grade also adds a point.)

When I did the math, it looked to me like grades for 5 semesters= 1/3 of the points
Math test = 1/3 of the points
Reading test = 1/3 of the points.

PPs said that grades were 1/2 of the points, but I'm not so sure -- will look it up.

Looks like the PSAT is going to be added as part of the testing process.  I wonder if this will actually replace the old test that they were using?   That would please me, as we had no idea what that test was or if it was valid at all!  (Not sure the PSAT is either -- but at least I know what it is, there are study guides, etc.)
