[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The reason all the tests are hard is that they are built to differentiate between high-performing students. The tests are fine-grained and target the right hand portion of the bell curve. Anyway, no need to worry, the point is to do better than the other test-takers :-) [/quote] This. It's designed to distinguish among kids at the top tail of the score distribution, the kids who would otherwise be bunched together indistinguishably at the 99th percentile. So your kid doesn't need to get 100% on this test, they just need to do better than the other kids. Also, it's a proprietary test created for MCPS by the Pearson company, under contract, I believe. So you can't find copies online or elsewhere. Although test prep companies do try. Signed, former TPMS parent[/quote]
