LNC Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) My 8th grade daughter has always tested with Cat survey to meet state requirements. She scored 97-99% total until last year. She missed one answer in a couple sections, bringing those sections' percentiles down to the 60s and 70s and her total score to 92%. Some of the problem with CAT survey is there are so little questions, and the test is so easy that your score goes down if you miss one with a careless mistake - bc no one else did! She wants to apply to the local homeschool national honor society. They don't take the survey test. She has to make over 90% total battery. We are using Iowa. We will get the test prep book to look over the format of the science and social studies questions since she has never taken a standardized test including those. Do you think over 90% is likely? She got awards through Duke Tip the same year her Cat score went down. :) We could use complete CAT or TerraNova instead, but her tester is ordering Iowa for the other students. What do you think? Thanks. Edited April 11, 2013 by LNC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
