[quote=Anonymous]It is the same type of test, but each grade tests is different. 2nd graders are not asked the same questions as 1st graders. Then for all 1st graders the test is scored according to their age. Think about parents that 'redshirt' their kindergarteners. Some kids start 1st grade and are already 7 because they had a summer birthday and other kids just turned 6 and won't turn 7 until the following summer. They are in the same grade but if each gets 43 questions right out of 48 the scores will be very different. I think this makes sense. The older child has had more time to develop his abilities and 'should know more'. This is how all of these tests work. You are only scored against children within your own 3 month age window.[/quote]
