[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school told the kids but not the parents. Very little communication from our school.[/quote]

To be exact, they told the kids right before the test, and my kid told me surprisingly when they usually don't as they have neurodiversity. It would be helpful if they had told parents.[/quote]

Do you think you can prep them or something?[/quote]

Absolutely not! It would be just nice to know that the test is now MAP 6+ for those in 5/6 Math so one understands the scoring appropriately and why there is often a drop in scores as others have alluded to earlier. Just send a one line email to parents MCPS. Seriously. Communication is terrible in this district.[/quote]

Or you can take the bold step of chilling the f out. The scales are calibrated for seamless transition between tests, and the reports show huge  statistical sampling error bars, and they show percentile placement among peers.

The people crying about dropping scores due to test differences are talking about kids who either are so far off the end of the scale that the test score is meaningless anyway, or kids who had learning loss and regression to mean after temporarily learning some extra math skills. [/quote]

Even this statement would have been helpful so I don't need to bother people like you when parents are basically asked to trust MCPS with everything no matter what. "The scales are calibrated for seamless transition between tests, and the reports show huge  statistical sampling error bars, and they show percentile placement among peers." 
Thanks and have a great day!
