Range Achievement Test 4(WRAT4). Sean was only asked to take two parts of the assessment the spelling portion and the math computation portion. On the spelling portion of the assessment he received a raw spelling score of 27. Which means that out of the 42 words he spelled 27 of those words correctly.

Which at a 90 percent confidence level has true score range between the scores of 90 and 105 with a standard error of measurement of 10%. This means that we are ninety percent sure that Sean’s true score on the spelling portion is between 90 and 95.

When added to the standard score scale he receives a standard score of 94. Which at a 90 percent confidence level has a true score range…

In his graphic novel, “Maus”, Art Spiegelman tells a survivor’s tale of his father, Vladek Spiegelman. Valdek was a Jewish-Polish survivor of World War II. He endures many hardships as the graphic novel progresses, including but not limited to the loss of his first son, Richieu, numerous prison camps, and bankruptcy.

In this category, I scored higher on the Internally Focused scale under the first contrasting pair, with a 59. Individuals in who exhibit this trait are immersed deeply in the complexities of their own feelings and thoughts. However, this trait is not very strong for me given that it is 10 points away from the 50th percentile of those who also possess this trait. Significant in this category are the scores for Imaginative/Intuiting and Feeling-Guided, having scored well above the Median on…

reduced the accuracy of the test results. The basic question is whether students who score low on grade level tests would score higher on lower level of the same test. To answer this question much of the research on out-of-level testing has examined the effects on raw scored and derived scores. Many have turned to chance score as a criterion measure of reliability. When the effects of the out-of-level testing on chance scores have been examined, researchers found that the number of students who…

She was focused and direct. The most memorable answer was to eyelash: “Ohhh… the hairs above your eye…I am pretty sure they are hairs.” It was priceless to see her face when I said “eyelash.” On “credible” she commented we just learned this. She gave examples, but did not know a concrete definition. This section is a little harder for me to grade. The subjectivity of the answers causes me to pause and question my score. Based upon her non-verbal routing score she needed to begin on the Nonverbal…

Something that is not considered in a PVAAS score is the demographics of the clientele. Students with a low socio economic status are historically shown to receive lower scores due to lack of resources and other factors. Students in special education also do not perform as well because of their learning disabilities. ESL students are also at a disadvantage because understanding material in English is difficult for them. These students are not taken into as much consideration when evaluating a…

student was required to fill out a variety of personality tests. After each student completed the personality test, he or she would then give the test to someone who knows him or her well enough to answer the questions while pretending to be the student. The person who takes the quiz as if they are the student is called the informant. After the student and the informant take the tests, the student records the scores into a spreadsheet. After all the tests are complete, a statistical correlation…
