[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Presentation linked above has the following data:

•How many students took the Iowa (IAAT) during the 2011-2012 school year?
In 2011-2012, 4890 students took the IAAT.
•How many students made the cut off score?
There are two assessments used for entry into Algebra 1: Iowa (91% or higher) and the 7th Grade SOL (pass advanced score).
•The cut-off score for the Iowa is 91% and a total of 1876 students scored at 91% or higher.
•A total of 2,110 students passed advanced on the 7th grade SOL.
•A total of 1,298 students qualified based on the two testing criteria.

That's actually a significantly lower correlation between the two assessments than I would have guessed -- only about 70 percent of those who passed based on the IAAT also made the SOL cutoff.  So don't count your chickens yet.

This is interesting, even if it is from 2013. You certainly hear people say that the IIAT is the tough part.  DD hit then 96th percentile, which is a solid score. Then again, she is under a 504 for low processing speed with ADHD, and got time and a half, although she says she only used a couple extra minutes on one section. But she has always score a high pass on her math SOLs (like 480-490), and never hit pass advanced. So, I am skeptical about whether she can pass advanced this year. But, this is the first year her 504 has been in effect, so she will get small group, minimal distraction testing. So we'll see.

Her brother was a 99th percentile and a strong pass advanced and went through Algebra I honors in 7th, and it may not have been the best move. He is ADHD too, and the executive functioning challenges of middle school threw him for a loop for a while. He pulled out an A-, with a perfect score on the final exam and a pass advanced on the SOL.  But for the first half of the year, , he was struggling along with low Bs.  In retrospect, he had the ability to do the work and understand the concepts, but having a high school credit class in 7th grade, which was going on his HS transcript was a lot of extra pressure.
