[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP didn't say 100% percentile. Maybe she meant her child answered every problem correct. I thought one can request to see the detailed score report from their school.

Yep, people are too quick to jump and correct a poster even when they don’t bother to read the post carefully.[/quote]

The results give a percentile only. Not number correct or incorrect. [/quote]

And I’ll add 99% includes kids who got none wrong and kids who got some wrong. There is no 100% on the report, even the report of a kid who missed none. [/quote]

Did you personally see the op’s report? If not, give her the benefit of the doubt.[/quote]

It may well be that OP asked for the detailed score report. I will just add my 2 cents that it is super lame to be requesting the full score report when your kid scored in the 99th percentile. Like, do you really need to know more than the fact that the kid scored in the 99th percentile? I can see if the score was close to the cut off ad you wanted to know where the weaknesses were or thought it may help to further the decisionmaking process on whether to do Algebra in 7th, but this seems silly.

Some arents want to know the full picture on how their child does in school. It’s simply between parent and teacher. Some might think it’s lame that you even care about another student’s score sheet and what format they want to receive.[/quote]

How does knowing your child missed zero or three change or add to the full picture on how your child does in school?  It has nothing to do with anything.

They could tell you in what area your kid missed questions. That can help you figure out what area you might want to shore up over the summer so that your kid goes into the year with a more complete skill set. I have not seen the report but I know other test results break down specific sections of knowledge and what your kid got right and wrong. If it is one random wrong in 3 or 4 sections then it was made an error due to speed or a mistake. If it is 3-4 wrong in a specific sub section, then you are have an area you need to shore up.

A 91rst percentile means that the kid scored in the top 9% across the country but that could mean a good number of questions wrong.

I happen to be the parent who likes to see the raw data because it gives me a bit more information and I like to have a more complete picture. [/quote]

NP.  My kid got a 98th percentile.  He missed some questions somewhere but I don't need to know exactly which questions.  Neither does OP with her "100%".

A score at the border, or lower, may be worth looking at areas of missed questions.  Although they'll learn whatever concepts they might have missed in school next year.  So I'm not sure that the information is needed either.[/quote]

I would definitely want to know if my kid scored borderline and chose to take Algebra 1, or lower.  We always do math over the summer to make sure there is no learning loss (like 15-30 minutes a day), and this would be information needed to make sure that she did in fact learn stuff she was supposed to, and provide additional support if needed.[/quote]

I’m the poster who said it was lame and I agree it might be helpful if the score was borderline. I still maintain it is lame of the kid scores in the 99th percentile, which OP’s kid obviously did. [/quote]
