[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the purpose of AAP? Why it has to be age adjusted? It is so normal that kids who are older to score higher. School year starts at September for everyone. You can't ask the school to start at April as your kid is younger and he deserve a fair starting point just as his older classmates, right? [/quote] The opposite opinion is the following: until before 4th grade, age does play an important role in kids' performance, hence the need to standardize such tests. This is a well-known and established fact. After that age kids are on par. It's rather simple, and it is the national practice. [/quote]
