[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am wonder how a parent would determine 5 or 6  years ahead?  I think MAP-R ends with 8th grade.  Were they taking HS Geometry as a 4th grader?  Is that Lexile level?  My child lost three points total on the HGC test..  I don't know what her IQ is.  She is a regular kid who does kid things like sports and piano.  It is not like you need to be a composer or have designed a new computer ap to get in.[/quote]

I am not sure whether I could say exactly how far ahead my child is in terms of capability.  His Map-R score in 6th grade puts him in the 99th percentile for 8th graders and 95th percentile for 11th graders and is above the median score for 11th grade.  I feel comfortable saying he is a couple of years ahead in terms of capability but he does not know as much as a typical high school student and so he is not ahead in that sense.  The lexile score corresponding to his MAP-R score is in the college range but I don't think he could really understand a college level biology textbook for example unless he had the prerequisite knowledge he would have picked up in high school.  BUT the MAP-R score tells me he is capable of working a couple of grade levels ahead of sixth grade very easily.[/quote]
