P 38:
On an above-level test, the scores scores earned are compared to the grade level for which the test was developed. For example, when a fourth grader is administered a sixth-grade Iowa Test of Basic Skils (TBS) the scores should be compared ot sixth-gade national norms...
p 57 When calculating points, you must use an above-level test. Scores from individual tsting as well as group testing are appropriate. Use the score that will best assist in making acceleration decision (typically the most recent, if more than one score is available). Scores from test administered within the last year should be used. The percentile ranking for the test score will be used to determine the appropriateness of acceleration. Use the percentile rank from the above-level comparison group.
Some listed tests include ITBS/EXPLORE/ACT/CAT/Pllus/SAT/SCAT or CTP-IV Remember that the scores should not exceed eight (points)
The tests are scored in such a way that no points are earned for a test below 50%, half credit point is earned from scores between 50% and 75%, and full points are earned for points above the 75th percentile, in the various subject areas.
