[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The test isn't stsndardized. Huge problem. The difficulty depends on where your child tests. It's totally ridiculous that a system as huge as Mcps hasn't figured this out. [/quote]

Do you mean that each schools is administering a different test?  I thought there were a standard 7 categories with certain threshold scores.  Do you mind sharing your sources?[/quote]

Can you tell me about the 7 categories?  Is this listed on the website?  I was searching for this on the MCPS website, but didn't see anything.  [/quote]

I'll admit to looking around for this info last year for my child, and gathered the following by looking at appeals online.  I don't know how accurate it is, but I found reference to:  (1) "record of oral language" which I think asks kids to listen and repeat sentences; 2) independent tasks with multi-step directions; (3) concepts about print, checking to see if kids know how books work, which direction to start reading, etc.; (4) letter identification; (5) math assessment (don't know what is involved); (6) visual motor skills.

I didn't use this to prep my kid, but it did help me decide whether I thought  my kid could pass the assessment and whether it was worth doing.[/quote]
