Raw scores can be converted into standard scores and grade equivalent scores. This assessment was normed on 1,485 students from 18 states. Reliability scores were in the .90 range. Validity measures were assessed using teacher ratings of student reading ability (correlations in the .70 range), and using comparisons with the ITED, the CAT, the GORT-D, the SCREEN, and the DAB-2.
