Excuse my jumping into this group like this but I am just a little shocked at my daughter's preliminary MAP scores.
She just turned 6 and would be in Kindergarten. We are homeschooling but are involved with a local Parent Partnership Program which means she is a student of a local school district but I oversee her daily education with the supervision of a coordinator.
Anyway, as a requirement for participating in this program my daughter has to take a yearly MAP test.
Her scores came back really high. Which is so strange to me. We've always known she was bright but these seem super inflated. I sat next to her as she took most of the test (we were able to take it from our home via the computer) and she was so frustrated with this test. The questions became very hard (which I understand why they are doing this) but it really frustrated her and then she would even miss answers to questions she could have gotten right but she assumed she didn't know the material anymore. Some of the answers she got right by lucky guesses. She would be really mad that she didn't know how to answer the questions so I would encourage her to make her "best guess" and she'd randomly choose one.
We've all ready been covering 1st grade material at home but backed off recently due to a chronic illness she is experiencing and because I think emotionally she is not prepared for this much academics even though she is perfectly capable of doing the material. She started to really dislike school and that is the last thing I want.
Anyway, sorry for the ramble. Here are her preliminary scores that we received after taking her test. We're still waiting on the report.
Her two reading scores: 209 and 186
Her two math scores: 193 an 190
What do the lexile scores under reading mean? How do I interpret these scores? Her teacher shot us a quick email to tell us she was in the 99th percentile and he'd have more info after the formal report.
What grade equivalent would this put her at?
It's just hard for me to trust these scores. I've always known she was bright, it was a lot more obvious when she was a toddler/preschooler but I guess I've never thought of her in the 99th percentile.
