[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having the test information column split into lines like it went with the reporting categories and scores was very confusing.

Also I don't understand how my 4th grader can get a 1487 with a 2 out of 7 in Computation and Estimation. 11/17 on the others for a total of 13/24 in math that tested 3rd grade skills. The child is supposedly doing well in math, but I don't really believe it.[/quote]

Yeah, I’m completely confused. My 4th grade AAP kid had 19/24 with 1602 score and this chart (not provided by FCPS) gives me no understanding of where he is. He’s allegedly doing great in math and it is his natural skill set but I’m concerned he doesn’t have the basics after seeing he hasn’t mastered this 3rd grade metric. [/quote]

Yep, not my child's natural skill set, and we're already doing tutoring which just now got through second grade material, so 13/24 seems accurate. I just don't understand how that implies readiness for 4th grade material. The bar must be very low.[/quote]

Because it's a computer adaptive test. The 13 questions he got right were 3rd grade level, since he passed those, they moved him up to 4th grade level and he didn't pass those. The test gets harder when the child passes a question. [/quote]
