I think the lower grade test must extend to the higher levels because my daughter scored in the 7th grade level in fourth grade. We never received standard scores, only grade equivalents (unfortunately). I'm feeling frustrated with the STAR test right now because my daughter somehow dropped over four grade levels in reading over the summer, leaving her at 8.5, and the school accordingly dropped her work level four grades - based on a 24 question test, if I understand correctly, when she scored higher at the beginning of last year.
aeh, if there is a cap of +3, does that mean that my daughter must be reaching the cap? She is not a mathy kid, so I wouldn't expect a higher score, but it is useful to know the capabilities of the test.
