q2 · i? · associational · r2
A linking study with a small group of Grade 3 students who took both the Spanish pilot test and English Reading test in Spring 2019 used the equipercentile procedure; the derived Spanish cut scores appear in Table 3.1 at the 40th percentile for all grades and terms.
"the Spanish reading score corresponding to the English Grade 3 spring cut score was at the 40th percentile of the Spanish MAP Growth Reading norms. Using this percentile, cut scores for the other grades and terms were identified."
