Just found this link:
http://www.letsgolearn.com/faqs/pri...s_vary_in_range_for_individual_students/Interesting explanation of the common unexpectedly "high" results (word recognition being one). And the common "lows". The explanation of the tendancy to low comprehension scores (which is not my problem) was quite interesting and tied in directly with what I said above - the comprehension is based on non fiction texts, removing or reducing the need for social comprehension in the reading comprehension score which I know is weakness for my child. Maybe she CAN read non-fiction at that level.
Also, she was bored, whinging and had to be bribed to do it, and she's not in the american school system, certainly the american history she read in last year's test she would NEVER have encountered previously. All of which should have made her more likely to score lower not higher.
It's something to think about. Still not sure what to conclude.
