Thanks Jtooit. I will check with the psychologist to confirm if the scores are grade-normed or age-normed.
Explore Test on your report from ACT will be based off of 8th grade norms. The NUMATS report will be a grade based percentile.
I think Cricket2 was asking about the WIAT scores being age or grade normed.
Those can make a big jump in either direction depending on the norming. My DD had scores for WJ age and graded normed. She had some subtest jump up as many as 10 points on her standard score because she is particularly young for her grade.
Davidson may look more critically at applications with a portfolio and achievement scores using the more favorable scoring. If a child is particularly young or old for the grade the scores will definitely change based on the norming.
Do you know if the WIAT was age or grade normed? If he is in 5th and young for his grade the norming will change the numbers.
