[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I looked at the chart posted in the link (Thank you PP!) but it is not making any sense to me. My 6th grader's (gen ed advanced math) scores are in the high 1700s for both. It only goes tp 1650 and 8th grade. My kid is not at high school level lol. What useless tests are these? Provides no useful information to parents![/quote]

Keep in mind the math progression for your kid. Advanced Math in 6th grade is 7th Grade Honors math. 7th Grade Honors is 8th grade Math. So it is not unreasonable to assume that a 6th Grader doing well in Advanced Math might be at the 8th grade level on the VGA.

If you said that your son was in Gen Ed math and scored off the charts I would think there was an issue but a kid in Advanced Math understand concepts that are taught to 8th graders tracks with me.

The VGA results sheet said that the students were tested a grade below their current grade level. My kid is currently in 6th grade and advanced math. So Math was tested at 6th grade level and Reading was tested at 5th grade level. The reading score is actually higher than the Math score lol. IMO the iReady results were more accurate. It had my kid at grade level for Reading and end of grade for Nath.[/quote]
