[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s been stated by others that selection committee has percentiles not raw scores because they aren’t reliable measure at that end. [/quote] This argument suggestes that MCPS should use measurement that measures the tail, not using 99% which is even a worse measurement of the tail.[/quote] Exactly the opposite. The tail was shown to be especially inaccurate; however, being in the top percentile has statistical certainty. [/quote] Yes. This is correct. Also, if a school tries to differentiate between scorers above the 99% you are only going to benefit those who have seen more above level curriculum. It’s not something that is encouraged. You don’t want to reward a rush though curriculum. [/quote]
