[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] It’s better than have someone sitting there determining this 99% is better than this 99%. Are there anyone measuring the human error? I doubt even there is consistency in this measurement. If MCPS truly believes there is no way to distinguish the tail, MCPS should expand the magnet program and take all kids in the tail. [/quote]
