[quote=Anonymous] [b]"No, because MAP scores are already +/- 3 margin of error in RIT scor[/b]e" This is the margin of error for an individual score based on the sample size of the question pool. The errors in this study are based on 1000s of kids and are negotiable. There is a substantial drop on average scores (4 points) in some grades. This will significantly affect average percentiles for individual kids. [b]What's outrageous is MCPS using a test for a purpose well outside its intended scope of applicability[/b]. The fact remains that MCPS is using that for that purpose and that this will affect significant number of children in unknown way. Pretending that averages are all that matters is ridiculous.
