O Percentile Rank (PR)O A standard score derived from the Scaled Score that

indicates the relative standing of a student in comparison to the same-grade students in the norm (reference) group who took the same subtest at a comparable time. For example, a PR of 75 means that for a particular subtest the student performed as well as or better than 75% of the students in the reference group.

 O Stanine (S)O A standard score derived from the Percentile Rank that

ranges from 1 to 9, with a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 2. Like Percentile Ranks, Stanines indicate a student’s relative standing with respect to a reference group. Usually, Stanines of 1,2, and 3 indicate a Below Average performance; 4,5, and 6 are Average, and 7, 8, and 9 are Above Average.

 O Grade Equivalent (GE)O A norm-referenced standard score that represents the

average performance of students tested in a given month of the school year. Subject to misinterpretation, Grade Equivalents are best used to interpret the performance of groups of students rather than the performance of standing of an individual.

 O Expected GE Score for this test administration would

be the Grade Level Tested + .9. For example, expected score for Kindergarten Classes would be K.9, for First Grade Classes 1.9, and for Second Grade Classes 2.9.
