"The tester seems to think that sky high achievement scores are a given in this population and this age group."
Sorry, but I'm curious about this!
We're talking about percentile rankings, right? When he says "in this population" ... what, the HG/EG/PG population? Well, shouldn't their scores be "sky high"?
Of course, I'm woefully ignorant on how these tests are normed. Can anyone enlighten me? I'm assuming it must be an ongoing process, but I certainly could be wrong. But if they're refined enough that some children will score in the 99th percentile and some children will score in >99.9 percentile, they must be good for *something.*
