[quote=Anonymous]It's good that they're basing decisions on a test taken at the end of 5th grade rather than using 2nd grade CogAT scores. It's also good if they can discourage or eliminate kids taking summer geometry to get ahead. I hope the cut scores they're using are sufficiently high. Placing kids into Algebra who aren't ready and haven't yet mastered the fundamentals is a horrible idea. The 1125 Q score appears to be the average of a 75th percentile spring 8th grader and a 75th percentile fall 9th grader, so it honestly seems pretty reasonable for algebra readiness. [/quote]
