[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, it is the percentile that matters. Kids need to be in the 91rst percentile on the IAAT.[/quote] I was the one that asked the question and then went and checked after I asked. It definitely says percentile. That seems really odd to me to determine whether a kid is ready for algebra off a percentile instead of a straight percentage. Anyone know why they do that?[/quote] No idea. I would guess that the material is hard enough that scoring a 91% on it is challenging and too high a bar while scoring in the 91rst percentile allows for more room for kids who got 80% of the questions correct. Totally making up the 80% correct being in the 91rst percentile, just using it as a possible example. the idea being that kids can score more incorrectly but end up in a higher percentile because of how other kids scored vs a straight percentage score.[/quote]
