[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people actually get scores that are not in the 90th percentile? I feel like DCUM is giving me a very skewed perception[/quote]

Definitely skewed.  If you go by this forum, you'd think 90% of kids get 140 or higher on the COGAT.  [/quote]

This is an AAP forum. Most/all kids in AAP would have scores higher than 130. Im not sure what percentile that is but I’m assuming 90+.[/quote]

130 composite is the 97th percentile nationally. Which is why it seems weird when so many post scores that are in such a high percentile, and in some schools, the 97th percentile isn't enough. [/quote]

Someone else pointed out on this forum that the top 10% in a class of 25 translates to the top 2-3 kids. If you keep that fact in mind, it's a lot less surprising to find out that there are some schools where 97% isn't high enough. All it would take is 2-3 kids scoring higher than 97% to bump that 97% kid out of the top 10%. Given how highly educated this area is, it's actually not that weird.

There are very few, probably under 5, that have a class with only 25 kids. We were at Fox Mill ES, a smaller school, and had about 90 kids each grade. Ten percent was a small number of kids, 9-10, but parents know that they can refer if they want. Most schools have classes that are larger and the number of kids covered is greater. [/quote]
