Standardized Measurements
Standardized means the test has been administered across varying ages, and backgrounds to determine an average measurement that is considered the norm. From this measure, we can evaluate whether the individual is performing above or below the mean.
Norm-Referenced
These averages give us data on how the individual is performing compared to others his/her age.
This can be interpreted as:
- Percentile Ranks: a reference for where the student or individual performs relative to other individuals. If one is in the 80th percentile that is they performed above 80% of peers their age.
- Standard Score: Standardized scores are the average score one receives on the test. This creates am estimate of whether the student is performing above or below average.
