My daughter is in the 7th grade and received a letter today to participate in the Duke University Talent Idendification Program and take the ACT in Feburary. It says the reason they chose her is because she scored a 170 on the MCT2 test, since I did not receive anything yet about her tests, I was wondering what does a score of 170 mean? 170 out of what??

JE from MS I would assume they get the scores through MDE somehow because a bunch of kids at my school got the same information. I would think with the MCT2, Duke had to tweak the information because many of the students were not advanced but still got the information.

girl in gulfport I am the person at my school who does Duke referrals. Someone from the school would have to do the referral. I think what the parent is asking is in reference to what the 170 means. It is a scaled score. I haven't seen the new cut-offs for each level, but you can ask the school to provide you the scaled score ranges for each level.

JE from MS I believe anything above 164 is advanced on both tests.
