[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8th grade TPMS magnet kid says that a bunch of kids in the magnet got scores in the low 300s. These are kids that apparently prepped for the test for about a month (!). I thought that 300 was the top score. Does it go really go above 300? [/quote]

What’s the use of such high score[/quote]

There is none. [/quote]

Weird this test has no relevance other than to determine if kids are making steady growth. Are they worried they won’t make it into a high school magnet program if they don’t get a high score? Can’t imagine spending a month in middle school school studying for a test like this.[/quote]

It is not relevant to real life (just like SATs, etc al.) but schools such as MCPS and many other schools nationwide (even American schools abroad) use MAPs to guage progress, yes, but also to gatekeep access to enrichment, which for some families is the only leg-up/enrichment they will receive in secondary school.[/quote]
