Jackson can we communicate from a boy band per second  I know my past I know I'm not going to give any numbers cuz I don't want to disturb are going over there at Jonathan's passing he did fine what is it mean when a range is close to like 3,000 there's not 3000 questions on the test how are they basing that other base of it if if you're proficient needs for fishing below for fishing four way up high what is the number represent how you stand with the rest of the nation  so it's not that doesn't correlate with the number of questions you got right correct it does not correlate it correlate with how you compare it to everybody else who took the S back test if you are talking about the AP exam that's that's easy I'd only goes up to 5 this was much higher by Mike after we get 4 digits my head Can't Wrap itself around that so the Rangers that they gave for 1 2 3 & 4 on the on the state it's not the nation's the state right it's the higher quadrature in the better your all did okay but it it has no correlation to the number of questions got that somebody got correct or wrong is that numbers Mexico so with how everybody else didn't the state okay alright I guess that's a little better if you look at your son which I have you didn't have look down at all  don't know that's that's see what my my misunderstanding this is Officer give you the explanation in this hopefully will help some parent Home Business website that they list there and a lot of parents have received their child score but so they clearly understand what they're looking at because the number on that she is not the number that your child may or may not have gotten correct or not take 30 100 questions right so that's the people need to know that can you to know that that's how they're that's how the state is using that particular day that it's not saying that the score was was the - 2 - 7 - 84 quadriceps let me just add that that's a great point for the future because our students take a number of assessments so this is a really good indication for us that will need to do a better job of explaining what the scores mean and what the assessment actually is because there's just number of times I've heard your I don't even understand why my child is taking this test and what does it mean what does it measure so that's a great indication that with our do a better job just to throw an AP exam just because I'm so proud of the kids fours and fives all over the place top of the all over the place that's good teachers and good kids Jonathan thank you dr.
