[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a (hopefully correct) summary of Fall MAP scores reported in this thread so far. Although maybe we are all focusing too much on Fall MAP scores, but there really aren't a lot of other data points to consider.

MAP-M and Math magnet results:
232 - not in pool
234 - not in pool
242  - in pool
244 - in pool (selected)
245 - in pool
252 - in pool (selected)
255 - not in pool
255 - in pool
262 - in pool
268 - in pool
272 - in pool (and in-bounds for TPMS, but not selected)
283 - in pool

MAP-R and Humanities magnet results:
235 - in pool
235 - in pool
237 - in pool
238 - in pool
239- in pool (selected)
240- not in pool
240 - in pool
240 - in pool
240 - in pool
245 - in pool
245 - in pool
256 - in pool[/quote]

Thanks for compiling PP.  It looks like they may have used the 240 cut-off for TPMS.  This has been the traditional recommendation line for AIM in 6th, however it is not the Fall test that they usually consider.  Interesting.[/quote]

Add 240 map M and NOT in pool.  [/quote]

There goes another theory!  Any Bs in math?  [/quote]

I wonder if they did do cutoffs by each school or type of school (like the CogAT percentiles).  240 is the 98%ile in the Fall, so that is a pretty steep cut-off for a lottery (not saying it shouldn't be steep, but for MCPS that is surprisingly steep).  [/quote]

As they said MAP is one of several factors that are weighed there's likely not a hard cutoff but a score that is derived from a combination of those things that determines pool eligibility.[/quote]

No Bs, all As in every subject and yes 240 is a 98% and he was not even in the pool.  He goes to a focus school.  Clearly there was no “cutoff.”  And no I am not lying or making up the numbers. His 3rd grade Cogat was 99%.  MCPS seems to have some secret formula of who gets in the pool and who doesn’t.[/quote]
