We just got ERB score. 98/98/97. Does this mean 97 over all? Have a chance for TT? TIA. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

That makes no sense - I don't think you can get 98 V and 98 P and 97 overall. What were the verbal and performance scores? The overall is the last score on page 2 - at the bottom, where it adds up the scaled scores and gives an overall percentile. Anyway - those are great scores, and your DC definitely has a shot at TT.

That was the score - I know it doesn't make sense to me, too. It says 98V, 98P and 97 overall. Can somebody explain? Maybe DC is older(4.8 yr.), it scaled lower? [ Reply | More

I'd call the ERB office. Mine was close to that age and scores weren't like that - although a month or two can make a difference. It doesn't really matter - those are great scores and if you apply broadly dc should be fine. GL [ Reply | More

The only thing I can think of is that both 98s were low 98s and that when the scaled scores were added, they were at the tippy top of the 97th percentile for total scaled score. But anyway - it doesn't matter. Your child did great and will be in the running everywhere. [ Reply | More

No, you can't - especially since the verbal is weighted much more heavily - for instance one can get in the 80s for performance and get a 98/99 on verbal and end up with a 97/98. That said, OP's dc could certainly get into a TT with anything 95+ (and sometimes lower) [ Reply | More

OR here - not that this matters, because OP's kid did wonderfully, but yeah - it makes no sense. My daughter got a 99V and a 96P last year and got a 99 overall, so I don't see how you could get a 98 on both and a 97 overall. [ Reply | More

that's bec your dd prob'ly got 19 on verbal subtests. Only need 15 or 16 to get 99 on each section so if your score is very high, it will help overall score. OP's kid probly did not get 19 or 18 on subtests. [ Reply | More

yes, 97 overall and it is entirely possible. The scores are not an average. [ Reply | More

NP: Not a strict cut-off like that at all. While the majority possibly scored a 96 or above, definitely not all the kids in a grade did. [ Reply | More

It means 97 overall. That is a good score! You have a shot at TT, but it's a shot only like everyone else. [ Reply | More
