155.

Kid gets 3s and 4s in school and is more interested in friends than classwork.  [/quote]

Confused... dd got 134 And 98th percentile
Is 155 possible? What was the raw score in that case? Perfect?[/quote]

Score is relative to age hence someone  born in October (oldest in class) getting all correct answer would get lower score due to age factor compare to someone born in September with 48/48 correct.

[b]DD (1st grader) got full score 160 (48/48 correct), 99 percentile.

Had to throw it in there, right?[/quote]

I don't think the above poster is bragging (although they should be proud that is an amazing score) but I think people forget:
The Flynn effect
and

When you have 11% of children scoring in the top 1% (even taking into account the Flynn effect and that these children might come from an “elevated gene pool”-aka Lake Wobegone), it begs some questions.....

It's funny that the article suggests that the change to the NNAT will help to diminish the advantages those who prep get.  I guess they aren't familiar with the NNAT test prep centers that thrive in Fairfax County, and that will soon take over New York.  [/quote]
