I was looking at the info on the jhu-cty site about the scat for 3rd graders.
I have two basic questions. What is the highest score a child can achieve on these tests, just to have some idea how many correct answers a score of 435 or so would have to be (out of 55 questions on each of 2 sections).

I thought I could give my son the short sample test on the site to get an idea of whether to even have him sign up, which leads to my 2nd question. If he is in 3rd, would he take the test for 3rd graders? That is, I am trying to clarify if the 3rd grade SCAT is designed to be above grade level for those grades. The sample tests are grouped into 2/3rd grade, 4/5th grade, etc.

Thanks for any info!
