[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should I be concerned if my "5" kid seems to be on a downward slope? High 5s in 3rd, mid 5s in 4th, low 5s in 5th.[/quote]

How did your DC do compared to other students in the same level as DC since last year? I would be concerned if there is a downward slope.

My excellent Math students sloped down with a 5. Turned out that he miscalculated the time (basing it off of the wall clock). He walked out 20 minutes earlier and was not able to get to all the questions. He was at an 85 percentile for the 5s.  Not a big deal since he is a rising 9th grader in a good program, but this was great lesson learned in terms of trying to control for such factors when taking an exam.  He needed to confirm when the test will end before the test started. He needed to speak up and advocate for himself![/quote]

I am impressed that your 14 year old was self aware enough to realize he had misjudged the time, and even more impressed that he was able to recall this on a test he took 4 months prior to knowing the results!

One of my kids varies quite a bit year to year. Scores are always in the 4s and 5s but, for example, this year his math was in the high 4s (and he scored the same or higher than only 15% of those at his score last year) and his ELA was in the mid 5s (and he scored the same or higher than 85% of those are his score last year). I don’t put much stock in either. I know he was an excellent math student this past year with high level and quick understanding of the material, and frankly was a pretty mediocre English student :-).  [/quote]
