[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While MAP tests for breadth, we have a test in depth coming in Nov. AMC 8 results are public if the kids are on the honor roll. It will be interesting to see how TP performs there. [/quote]

Wouldn't those results only apply to 8th graders who were admitted prior to the change to admission?[/quote]

As long as the kid is younger or equal to 8th grade, she can compete. We also know how TP did in previous years. Facts are facts. I am glad that MCPS cannot hide this data.[/quote]

Np. I don’t believe AMC is what you’re purporting it to be.  It’s a math competition designed to get young students excited about math. It is not a tool to prove a child’s worthiness of a magnet program.

The students who do the best on AMC questions are those who are quick and have learned the tricks needed to solve each type of question. I would imagine those who go to the AoPS Academy in Gaithersburg would do well. The more exposure to the type of problems the higher the score.  [/quote]

You can always argue it is not the perfect measurement. Can you propose any better measurement? When one measurement is not good enough, we can evaluate multiple measurements. [/quote]

Like the multifaceted criteria used by the county to gauge a student's mettle as it pertains to magnet admissions AKA the gold standard...[/quote]

Well, people have already argued the limitation of CogAt, MAP, PARCC and suggested these criteria not good enough to identify or justify the top talent selection.[/quote]
