[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally wouldn't be too concerned about the occasional C on Benchmark, when MAP-R is the more accurate measure. Like a PP said, Benchmark's questionable assessments are why many top MAP performers weren't given that GT designation. [/quote]

My DC was one of those who didn’t get the GT designation due to benchmark assessment. He is to be rescreened. But might still not get the GT designation again due to random C’s on benchmark assessment again this year. Plus its not great for self esteem either. [/quote]

This stinks and I’m really sorry. A similar thing happened to my child in mcps. Maddening.[/quote]

You really need an excuse to why your kid isn’t doing well. Everyone here will cater but here’s a hint: it’s not Benchmark. The curriculum isn’t great that part isn’t a lie, but the high kids…. score well and pretty consistently. Yes, the tests are difficult. Your kid probably doesn’t deserve the GT designation if they can’t handle the Benchmark tests. [/quote]
