I'm just popping in here a lot today blush . I'm not sure about ODE, but dd#1's middle school GT coordinator did tell me the other day that she is in possession of a chart that correlates 8th grade percentiles on the Explore with what that percentile is for lower grades (3rd-6th). I.e. -- a 75th percentile score on the science Explore as compared to an 8th grader is actually the 99th percentile as compared to a 4th grader or something like that (I just made those #s up).
