[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]can someone explain the test for me?  what is the highest score you can get? only were they tested with same level questions or the questions vary depending on the questions the student got right during the exam?[/quote]

Use the internet to do some research on it. I recall on this forum someone said it's always the same qs, but I'm not sure if that's true.

The range of scores is not by grade level, but the percentiles are scaled to grade. So you can see from looking at the charts where your child's score would put them for higher and lower grades, which is somewhat informative.

I don't think the test is "trash". It's a data point, and better than the other totally subjective assessments that go into the AAP packet.[/quote]

Thanks, I looked up and according to the chart, my grade 1 son should be grade 4 level. That is why I had those questions. It does not make sense to me. I wonder what kind of questions they were tested on. For example, how many grade 4 level questions he got on the test. [/quote]

PP who replied to you, here again.  
This chart shows what I meant about the on grade level being broadened:

So, for example, if your grade 1 kid had a 480 math score, that does show up in the on grade level 4th grade range, but it's really only in the grade 2 band.  So it would be appropriate to say that the kid was grade 2 level but not grade 4 level.  Grade 4 math starts at a score of 517.[/quote]

Those are old bands, these are this years.
