apm, from what I've read in the technical manual, it appears there is a three grade cap in math, based on the start point you're assigned at the beginning (set by the teacher, and presumably based on your nominal grade level in the subject). So, yes, if your daughter's beginning point on the test was fourth grade, seventh grade would be at the ceiling of the test. OTOH, if the school chose to set her starting point higher, the ceiling would be accordingly higher. It's not the test per se that has a ceiling of three grades, but in any given item set, the computer adaptive item selection will not exceed +3 grades..
Aha. DS took his math with his class, likely setting his test at early 4th. Now to figure out if his scores matter. Likely yes since there's another compacted class coming up.
Thanks again for your time and expertise, aeh.
