One of the thing it says in the results is that in the third grade, and I would think a few grades later, the comparison are against other children who fall in the high ability ranges. So, for instance, my child got a 10 in one item, which is like 20% for the kids taking the test. But, then you have to consider the fact that the kids taking the test tend to already be in the top ~5% of the population of third graders. On the other hand, he got a 16 in Science which according to the results, is about 80-something %, once again compared to other high ability children. Keep in mind that either score is high enough to get him into any class in CMITES.
