[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Right. But in order to take Algebra, you need a strong foundation. If you get a certain number of questions correct, you have or do not have that foundation. How you score locally or nationally compared to other kids really should not matter. [/quote] They use percentiles because it's much more likely that the test creators inadvertently make a test that is overly difficult or overly easy than it is that the norming group from one year to the next is substantially different. If FCPS finds that the norming group has become weaker, such that kids scoring 91st percentile are no longer adequately prepared for Algebra, they'll simply choose a higher percentile as the cutoff.
