Knowledge of physiology, normal and variant anatomy, and anomalies of coronary circulation is an increasingly vital component in managing congenital and acquired pediatric heart disease.
The LEAP and GEE tests are what's known as criterion referenced rather than norm referenced. That means they are designed to test students' knowledge of specific, defined skills rather than simply compare their abilities on the test with those of other children.
For the LEAP, GEE, and criterion-referenced portion of the iLEAP, students receive one of five scores for each of the subject areas tested: iLEAP test scores do not determine if a student will be promoted to the next grade or held back, but LEAP test scores do. To be promoted to the next grade, students in 4th and 8th grade must receive a score of âbasicâ or above on either the English language arts or math LEAP test and a score of âapproaching basicâ or above on the other test.
