Thanks Loy58! Funny, that is the one document I've been able to find on the subject. If the info in that doc is true, then the 6+ does provide the opportunity to score higher.

With it being soooooo important to everyone (hint o' sarcasm there) that students show growth on standardized tests, I think they should be provided as ceiling-less an assessment as possible.

Anyone else know anything? Thank you in advance!
