[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the IAAT test offered to all students or AAP only? What is a raw score on average in the past that tends to put you over the 91 percentile? I understand that percentile depends on the difficulty of questions and the aptitude of the students appearing for a given year. [/quote]

The IAAT is only given to six graders who are in AAP or level IV math. There are 60 questions, so a student would have to get at least 55 of them correct.[/quote]

Nope, It's 91st percentile, not 91%. So a kid needs to do better than 91% of the kids taking the test. Is that nationally, in the county, in the school? [/quote]

Nationally.[/quote]

Interesting.  I asked DC's 6th grade AAP teacher, and was told that she thought it was Fairfax County, but could be the state of Virginia.  If nationally, that gives a huge edge to FCPS kids as they typically score higher than the national average on standardized tests.[/quote]

It's an algebra readiness test for 8th graders taking pre-algebra.  Algebra in 7th grade is ahead, anywhere and everywhere.[/quote]

The test is administered in 6th grade for those taking 7th grade level math. One of the factors is scoring in the “91st percentile”; I was simply asking if that percentile was coiunty, state or national. I know taking algebra in 7th is “ahead”, which is why I asked for clarification on how that placement is assessed.[/quote]
