Score reporting
and test design data
Raw scores can be converted to percentile rank scores and standard scores. Guides are provided to convert standard scores into criterion categories (e.g. "advanced" or "delayed"). Reliability measures were within expected ranges given the age of the students. Validity was assessed using other published assessments (e.g. WPPSI-R, DAS). The BSRA Spanish Edition was developed, normed, and validated independently.
Notes This assessment can be used with children as young as 2.6 years of age. The Bracken School Readiness Assessment is comprised of the first 6 subtests from the revised Bracken Basic Concepts Scale (BBCS-R).
