5th grade math SOL is factored into 6th grade math placement. [/quote]

What exactly are you planning to do with the SOL data now…before you receive the placement letter? [/quote]

NP, does anyone know what the cutoff is for math placement? Do they only use SOL data or also use that MAP testing data? Just curious how they actually decide.[/quote]

I'm curious too.

This is what APS says (https://www.apsva.us/curriculum/mathematics/):
Data Points that are Considered in the Mathematics Course Recommendation Process for Rising 6th Graders Include:
Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) Grade 4 Mathematics Assessment Score
Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) Grade 5 Mathematics Assessment Score
Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) Quantitative Score
Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) Nonverbal Score
Grade 5 End-of-Year MAP Growth Math Assessment Score

Based on my research on DCUM, I'm guessing SOL 550 and MAP 258 are the cutoff. I'm hoping they don't look at CogAT (from what, 2nd grade??), but we never know.

Interesting, thanks! Seems good they take a variety of data points, since someone could just have an off day (lucky or unlucky). Not sure what to say about CogAT, I don't even know when they did that for current 5th graders since 2nd was virtual schooling year.

Question about the SOLs in general, what are the "additional items" in each subject?[/quote]
