[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We gave little practice to our kid so that he won't be surprised on the test day. He is good at quantitative as he attends math tutoring and also does lot of puzzles. His class teacher also placed him at above grade level in math. To our surprise he got low score in CogAT quantitative. Is anyone in the same boat? We have contacted the school and they indicated there is no way to review the test. [/quote]

What do you define as “low”?[/quote]

77 percentile. 27 correct out of 50.[/quote]

I believe that 77 percentile is average and not low. I understand that you think that you child would score higher but that is different then a low score when, it is in fact, and average score.

What type of tutoring is he doing and why is he doing it? Is it helping him stay on grade level or is he working on advanced material? Puzzles do not necessarily indicate that he is good with math. The above grade level in math is interesting. What was his iReady percentile? [/quote]

Actually 77 is by definition above average—50 percentile is average—but 77 might be closer to average in FCPS. Not sure what this year’s cutoff is but it’s surely above 95% percentile nationally at most schools. If your kid’s scores are high in the other areas you should be good.[/quote]

Most grading scales are based as a C is average and is a 75% with failing being 59% or less. [/quote]

The Cogat isn't a grade.  It is scored so that 100 is average, 50th percentile.  A score above 100 is above average and a score below 100 is below average.  A score of 77th percentile is above average.  A score of 132 is the 98th percentile nationally.

Some other tests are scored slightly differently so that a score of 130 is the 98th percentile nationally.  [/quote]
