[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh stop. MCPS found more high scoring kids. It also started to use the COGAT correctly. COGAtT creators state it should not be used to try to differentiate the last percentile. They also state it should not be the sole determinant of entry into any program. This is difficult news for parents who want to believe there is statistically valid meaning in the difference between their child's [b]99.7[/b] percentile score and another child's [b]99.0. [/b][/quote] Did MCPS disclose the cut off for selection was[b] 99.0%[/b]? That would shut up a lot of people if that was true. On the flip side, if the cutoff was statistically significantly lower, ie 95% it’d look foolish since that would be a very large pool still. 3x the number admitted when looking at historical published data.[/quote] FWIW, COGAT's percentile rankings are rounded off to whole numbers. There is no 99.0 or 99.7, only 99%.[/quote]
