[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 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] The test is nationally normed and not based on local percentiles. If the test is properly normed, then it shouldn't matter whether FCPS uses a percentile cutoff or a raw score cutoff. I don't know the full correspondence scale, but I have one data point from a previous year. My DC got 56/60 (about 93%), which was 98th percentile. If you want the full score report, you have to make a formal request for it. [/quote] I remember reading somewhere (might be here) that a kid can get only 5 questions wrong, and wondering how that works if it's 91st percentile, and not 91%. [/quote]
