[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think MAP tests are that accurate either. There is a lot of random drop in scores and then the students are placed in a lower reading group. My kid scored 97th in 3rd grade but somehow messed up in the fall of 4th went down to 85th. I don’t think it indicates that his comprehension ability deteriorated. To me it seems he probably rushed on the test or something. But the school uses his score to place him in the lower reading group. How is that an accurate assessment of his abilities?[/quote]
They are more accurate than other tests.     Truly gifted/advanced kids never score under 99%.   Smart kids scores will range high 80s to mid to high 90s.  [/quote]

What is your source for this? If "truly gifted kids" have not been exposed to the material then how do you know they will score in the 99th percentile? [/quote]
I’m not the person who posted this, but I can attest that my own kids never went below 98th especially my 3rd grade one (still a long way to prove this point). No I never intentionally exposed him to the advanced materials, because I can’t afford him being even more bored at school. They are just quick to pick up the concept if they see or read it. [/quote]
I am the poster and yes this is how kids like this pick things up.  I know because I have a kid like this and another one who is also smart but just not the same way.  [/quote]

And everyone is 99th percentile on dcum.[/quote]
