But that just means that the they will use the same table[/quote]

Correct.  NWEA establishes norms every 5 years.  The 2020 norms, which were based on sample scores across the country from test takers 2 to 4 years earlier, won't be replaced until some time next year.  These national norms are the percentiles that go on the report.[/quote]

Outrageous. The drop of 4 points can be very significant appearing drop in percentiles for some students.[/quote]

No, because MAP scores are already +/- 3 margin of error in RIT score (which includes percentile ranges like 87-93, and 74-85) and fluctuate a lot from season to season for a kid, which is why NWEA (makers of MAP) recommend MAP for individual differentiated learning, not as cutoffs for competitive admission programs.

What's outrageous is MCPS using a test for a purpose well outside its intended scope of applicability. [/quote]
