[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure most everyone got the email today with a link (https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/siteassets/district/curriculum/eoc/mcps_eoc_studentflyerwfaqs-updated2024-06v1.pdf)  to this info, but I thought I would place it here to close the loop on some of the questions in this thread. What we don't know yet is the percentage of students who scored in each of these categories.

What MCPS has posted about how EOC (MISA/MCAP) scores were translated to letter grades:

[b]GRADE CONVERSION SCORE (GCS) TABLE[/b]
         
Letter Grade: [b]A[/b]     GCS Score: 90-100  --   LS MISA Score Range: [b]757-850[/b]      Am Gov Score Range: [b]466-650[/b]
Letter Grade: [b]B[/b]     GCS Score: 80-89   --  LS MISA Score Range: [b]744-756[/b]      Am Gov Score Range: [b]442-465[/b]
Letter Grade: [b]C[/b]     GCS Score: 70-79    --    LS MISA Score Range: [b]737-743[/b]      Am Gov Score Range: [b]419-441[/b]
Letter Grade: [b]D[/b]     GCS Score: 60-69    --   LS MISA Score Range: [b]731-736[/b]      Am Gov Score Range: [b]394-418[/b]
Letter Grade: [b]E[/b]     GCS Score: 50-59     --    LS MISA Score Range: [b]650-730[/b]       Am Gov Score Range: [b]240-393[/b]

What does the Grade Conversion Score chart mean?
The “Test Scale Score” refers to the student’s EOC exam overall (either LS MISA or American Government). It is based on the questions answered correctly on the exam.
The “GCS Score” refers to the Grade Conversion Scale score that is based on the Test Scale Score. It has a floor of 50 and a ceiling of 100.
The “Letter Grade” refers to the grade, A through E, the student received on the EOC exam and that will count for 20 percent of the student’s final course grade. The Letter Grade is based on the GCS score: a GCS score of 90 and above converts to a letter grade of “A,” 80 through 89 to a “B,” 70 through 79 to a “C,” 60 through 69 to a “D,” and 59 and below to a letter grade of “E.”[/quote]

Thanks for posting this.  I have no context to understand all of those numbers.  But my kid said the teacher read kids' scores out loud today (weird, right?) and every single kid got an A.  (Maybe the teacher skipped the non-As?  But my kid was under the impression that the whole class got an A on the bio MISA.[/quote]
