Summative Four: Reviewing Eddie’s Test Scores
- Eddie’s Test Scores: Eddie’s test scores indicate that his general intellectual ability is above the mean. He has scored above the mean in tests such as math calculations, mathematics, and math problem-solving. However, Eddie’s scores in written expression, reading rate, reading comprehension, basic reading skills, and reading are below the mean. The graphs below elaborates. As shown, the scores above 100 are above the mean, while those below 100 are below the mean.
- Explanation of Terms
- Raw Scores: A raw score refers to an unchanged measurement. For instance, assuming that Eddie took a class test and scored 85, his raw score would be 85.
- Standard Scores: Standard scores are founded on a scale with an average or statistical mean of 100. For example, if some of Eddie’s scores are below 100, then Eddie is identified to have scored below the mean. Besides, if some of his scores are above 100, then he is noted to have scored above the mean.
- Grade Equivalency: The grade equivalent scores indicate that Eddie has achieved the score as an average pupil of the grade or age. For example, the fluid reasoning score of Eddie has 5.2-grade equivalency, indicating that he obtained a similar score as a typical student in 2 months of third grade.
- Age Equivalency: Age equivalency is similar to grade equivalency. For example, the 84 phonological processing score of Eddie has an age equivalency of 7-1.
