Mrs. Reba received the score report from her class’s most recent standardized tests in mathematics. She notices that one of her struggling students, LaJuan, scored in the 53rd percentile. What does this mean?
  1. LaJuan’s score was higher than 47 percent of the scores in the norm group on the same test.
  2. LaJuan answered 53 percent of the questions correctly, but attempted them all.
  3. LaJuan has mastered 53 percent of the content measured by the test.
  4. LaJuan did not complete 47 percent of the questions at all.
Explanation
Answer: A - When LaJuan scored within what is referred to as the 53rd percentile, this means that LaJuan’s score was higher than 47 percent of the scores in the norm group on the same test. It is a measure used to compare a student’s performance to others that took the same test to determine where he or she falls in the spread of scores.
