[quote=Anonymous]So, when we're talking about percentiles, which is what you get back on the InView, "The National Percentile by Age (NPA) is based on a student’s cognitive ability with respect to students of the same age, regardless of their grade in school." So, at the margins, the oldest kids in the grade, who may be compared to kids who have had more schooling because some of the other test takers are in a higher grade in school and may have been exposed to more instruction, are more likely to have to score a bit better to earn the same percentile. The youngest students, who are more likely to be compared to some other test takers in a lower grade because of cut-off dates, may be able to miss a few more questions to earn an identical percentile. For the kids in the middle of the pack, it will be unlikely to matter. [/quote]
