IIRC, 300 = perfect score. Test has different questions every year, but TYPES & DIFFICULTY don't vary, & new items always field-tested, so 280 in 2008 approx. = 280 in 2015. The test is not a variable.

1. Don't know much about testing, do you? 2. It's a standardized test taken by millions of kids over those 20 yrs. 3. Many standardized tests are designed so that most testees pass (demonstrate minimum level of skill), not 4 "grading." You have to know the function of the test.

Nobody is deflecting you. It's a test. It has scores. Like all tests, the actual numbers themselves are somewhat arbitrary. If you really want to know more, you can go to the NAEP site and read about it. It's all public info.

My post explained this. On the NAEP, 10 points is roughly equal to one grade level.

And that's one factor that enabled the Jay Leno on the street interviewing clueless Americans schtick and Fox News hegemony. Meanwhile, working class second and third worlders can run chapter and verse on IMF austerity. Reading pedagogy is ideological.

Would recommend talking to more working class Europeans before you get too wedded to this idea.

But pedagogy is political. DESPITE slightly increasing scores, our testing and skills approach short-circuits higher order thinking (which European whole language and project-based approaches facilitate).

Looks like there's STILL a long way to go. African American kids are truly struggling.

It's not how well you read. It's what you read. If you read 8 hours a day for your whole life you could only read 10% of the New York City Public Library. What 10% do you read?
