    Hi!
    Anyone know how common it is to score in the 90% Nationally but only 59% suburban on the CTP4 ERB? And is this a test that others test prep for? We did not. And how much of an indicator is this regarding success in math. DS has a 504 for visual issues.
    TY

    Doesn't sound way out of line to me; my child's Quant Reas and Math 1&2 scores in 4th grade ERB were 99/9th stanine nationally, and 87/7 and 92/8 for suburban. The national averages are lower than those of suburban schools, which in turn run lower than independent schools - presumably this reflects demographics (household income and education) and resources more than anything else.

    Oh, and not sure about prepping; at my kid's school, the only prep was explaining how to bubble in the scoring sheets. No idea whether it indicates success in math or not, sorry!
