That means more students will compete for the Award Ceremony this year.
What's the point of repeating the talent search test?
For me, it is just a monitor for the academic improvement of my kids. The standard tests (such as WKCE or MAP) cannot tell us anything, because the scores touch the celling (such as 99%).
We do not need the scores to do anything. But from Explore or ACT exam scores, it can tell that my kids can improve in some areas.
The award ceremony is just a bonus, also it is an effective way to encourage kids to study and take the test.
It is my personal opinion.
Do you agree?
