For example, the student would indicate the word boundaries of "ofgoliketwobig" by inserting slash marks in the appropriate places — "of/go/like/two/big."

Score reporting
and test design data
Raw scores can be converted into standard scores, percentile ranks, age- and grade-equivalent scores. This assessment was normed on a nation-wide sample of 3,592 students in grades 1 - 12. Reliability was demonstrated using alternate forms and time sampling. Validity was assessed using existing comparable assessments (e.g. WJ-R, WISC-III).
Notes There are alternate equivalent forms of this test (Form A and B) to allow for valid repeated testing.
