Hi Dottie,

I notice that it is very difficult for a 5th grader to answer all questions correctly in Verbal part of the test because even 9th grade curriculum in public high school may only cover a small part of vocabulary on the test.

Do you happen to know who is authority for designing and issuing of SCAT Test, Educational Testing Service (www.ets.org)? I know the CTY is marketing SCAT. The website of ETS or CTY doesn't have description of underlying design principle of SCAT.
