Thanks for the clarification. It is always so hard to explain that.

IRA discourages those because they are easily confused with reading levels. A grade equivalent score of 12th grade on a fifth grade test usually means that the child scored as well as the average 12th grader on the fifth grade test. It does NOT mean the child is reading at the 12th grade level. Jennifer In a message dated 3/10/2008 6:33:49 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: When a fifth grader scores at the 12th grade level on something like star, it does not mean he is reading at a 12th grade level, it means if a 12th grader took this test, he would get a score close to this. (I think I am pretty close on this explanation, but would welcome further clarification. It is always an issue.) **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms, and advice on AOL Money & Finance.
