99 and 115. These scores indicated a 70% percentile rank. Based on the standard score, we are 95% confident that his true percentile rank does fall between 47 and 84. His age equivalent for the auditory comprehension section was 3 years and 7 months. For the expressive communication portions of the assessment, he had a raw score of 40 and a standard score of 104. We are 95% confident that his true score falls between 97 and 111. His percentile rank for that section was 61%. Based on the standard
REASON FOR REFERRAL: Jane was evaluated as part of an ED530, Assessment of Reading & LD assignment. She was selected due to her parents’ interest in knowing Jane’s writing skill level and looking at this assignment to figure out if she can pursue school psychology as a career in the future. TESTING CONDITIONS: Jane was tested in the examiner’s home. The table used for the assessment was cleared of all items except for testing materials. Jane had a glass of orange juice during the test, and
responses, perseverations, or denials, or the total tally of responses is 9 or less, and 0 when the response is unintelligible or no response is elicited. The RIPA-G:2 produces three types of scores: raw scores, scaled scores, and percentile ranks. The percentile rank can be converted to a corresponding severity rating that provides a general indication of the examinee’s performance in comparison to others. The raw score is calculated for each subtest by summing
chapter was new to me. For example, I had no idea how to calculate percentile. Additionally, the terms quartile, decile, and stanines were new to me. Finally, I have heard of z scores and t scores. However, prior to reading this chapter, I was unaware of how they were used. Several of the terms defined in this chapter I was familiar with include raw scores, norm-reference scores, criterion-reference scores, and percentile ranks. I really like how Salkind presents the information in this chapter
Central phenomenon (McMillan, pp. 52-53) – the focus of qualitative research. Virtual school curriculum could be studied and the central phenomenon would be who writes the curriculum and what resources are included in the curriculum. Dependent variable (McMillan, p.39) - the item that responds to alterations of the independent variable. In my professional practice I would research the effectiveness of virtual schooling with regards to standardized testing. In my experience students who exclusively

Preparation Firstly, to prepare for the first administration of the CAS, I read the examiner manual which explained that in order for the results to be interpretable and avoid reducing of reliability and validity, the assessment should be administered according to the procedures and recommended testing conditions (Das & Naglieri, 1997). There were several key points to be familiar with which are: the materials needed in each subtest (ie. Response book, red pencil, stopwatch), the starting points
2. What is a standard score? A standard score is a scores that enables us to refer to the performance of an individual pupil in relation to the whole population where the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is usually 15. It also allows schools to base their assessments per school year. This is due to standarised scores taking into account the age of the pupil. A pupil in year 9 that has a date of birth of September would generally be expected to get a higher raw score than a pupil born in
Further, domain level percentile rank will be calculated for each of the five domains by calculating the sum of the percentile ranks of the variables in that domain. Finally, an overall percentile rank for each tract will be calculated as the sum of the domain percentile rankings. In addition to total SVI, we will include a count of the number of individual variables with percentile ranks of 90 or higher for each of the five domains and for the tract/block group overall. The total flags variable
