[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The last few percentiles can't be meaningfully distinguished by one taking of the Cogat. Cogat tells you this. MAP info says same thing. It involves statistics. MCPS would be using the tests against the test instructions if they gave meaning to 1 pecentile differences at the upper end. Instead they have to look over a number of factors. Oh, and they do. But some folks here don't want to hear this as they "know" their child "did better." umm, ok.[/quote] True but this contradicts the wack and baseless conspiracy theories. Reality is parents are now less able to game the system and the admission criteria is more competitive.[/quote] That's the crux of it.[/quote] The reality is that MCPS had to use "peer cohort" to change the demographics of the magnet students. That was the only way to do it other than outright affirmative action.[/quote] +1 [/quote] +1[/quote]
