Did you think anything was a little off with the percentage rankings?
I think the ranking is completely off. May be it shows that people tend to give it to bright kids, or they may not use it correctly or may be there is a problem with the program. Lots of the results end with gr.0, which most likely means that people don't bother to do the 2nd part of the test or that they didn't do it correctly.
I look only at the grade level. We do it every few months and I save the results for future references. I've been using it with both of the boys. Having done the test a few times in the last few years I think the very first section should be a little bit longer since my feeling is that a word or two extra words in the first level makes for a huge difference in the overall score even though I don't feel the kids made adequate progress.
Does anybody know about a good spelling test I could use to measure DS5 progress? While I am typing this DS5 is creating his own crossword puzzle which includes words like oxygen, hydrogen, teenager, raspberries, submarine.
