[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MAP has 4 subscores. Geometry is where there is a big drop in score from 3-5 to 6+, because even very smart young kids don't magically know fancy geometry. Also, MAP 2-5 to 6+ switches from Data and Measure to Probability and Statistics, so unless your kid studies that at home, they are likely to see new concepts and words, and see rheir score drop. The other two categories, Operations and Algebraic Thinking, and Number System, are likely to not show a drop for kids not already far beyond 99%ile. The kids can solve hard but familiar looking arithmetic and algebra problems. I'd hope that MCPS uses the minimum subscore, not the average, when evaluating scores, to avoid the effect of fluke questions. [/quote] MCPS doesn't. They use the overall score to determine magnet lottery placement, from kids who took 2 different tests. SMH.[/quote]
