[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finally a test my august boy has a leg up on!

well only if its a grade based norm.  Not if its an age based norm which from other posters it sounds like it is.[/quote]

Not true.  PP does have an advantage for an August child since s/he might be up to 11 months younger than other kids in the class taking the same test, and scores will be boosted relative to those older kids.[/quote]

do you understand what an age based norm is?  it means the child will only be compared to kids the exact same age.  [/quote]
But that can be about one year apart.  I think one year at that age can be significant.  So, I agree, a child with an August bday wouldn't have an advantage over a child with a bday just after the cut off.  It would be the other way around.[/quote]

age normed would be for kids the SAME AGE - for example 7 years and 1 month.  Not all the kids in the class.  If they are comparing all the kids in the class that is "grade norming".  [/quote]
