[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know if theres a way of getting more data about what your kid got right/wrong?  I don't actually care about her going to the school, but I am concerned that the scores don't reflect what her teachers have always said about her performance.   I'm worried there's something going on other than just disappointing scores, and would like more data.  [/quote]

Performance in school can be very very different from the scores on these tests. These tests are not about what is taught in school. Well, I guess for quantitative, it's important to have been taught math. But verbal is generally beyond what is taught in school, so I think would favor kids who are simply very verbal and have read a ton. non-verbal section is more a logic test, like an IQ test, I think. PP, I'm sorry you're worried, but honestly I think if you have a kid who performs very well at school and didn't do so well on this test, then you have a great kid who will do great through school. I'd be more worried about a kid who excels on this test but does poorly in school. (that is, a kid who is either lazy or for other reasons not meeting his potential.)[/quote]
