[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess the real question is why MCPS would report the applicant's percentile scores in which 99% covers ~130 - 160 raw scores when they have the raw score. It's unlikely an accident because it had always been the raw score that was reported in the old 3rd grade HGC test which also used Cogat. In the past, the medians of the accepted were also given in the decision letter. Now, it would be three 99%'s, and [b]the accepted or rejected would never know where their standing is in the test[/b]. I understand MCPS is trying to tune down the importance of the test or any test, but without clearly listing any criteria that the decision was based upon,  one can only guess it was something that can't be openly stated.

I don't have kids applying, but the way MCPS handles it's policy changing and decision making is very worrisome,  and many changes such as the elementary grading system in recently years have been deemed failures and had to be rolled back the old way. I don't know if the changes to the magnet programs in the past couple of years will make the programs better? Maybe yes, more likely no. I feel MCPS is so desperate it would try anything randomly. Today it is the magnet programs which is irrelevant to most, tomorrow it might be something that will impact you.       [/quote]

If you want to know your kid's CogAt scores, you can get them. [/quote]

Another thread has a poster saying they called to ask and were told they weren't being released, however, it was unclear whether the poster was talking about high school or middle school.  I would call, but I'm at work and don't have my kid's student ID number with me.  Has anyone successfully gotten their kid's raw score?  [/quote]

It was for middle school.[/quote]
