Score reporting
and test design data |
Raw scores can be converted into standard scores, and percentiles. This assessment tool was normed on national sample of 1,454 children in 15 states. Reliability measures are in the .90 range, and validity measures, assessed using the Basic School Skills Inventory, were found to be in the .55 range. |
| Notes |
Examiners no longer have to prepare their own items that require the use of company logos. All pictures have been drawn in color to present a more appealing look to children. Categorical vocabulary in this assessment consists of identifying that belong to a semantic category. Part of the alphabet knowledge subtest score is determined by oral reading accuracy. Two forms of the test are available for test-retest applications. Software for scoring is available from the publisher. |
