Hi,

I was wondering if one of you testing gurus (Dottie?) could explain something to me about the SCAT. We got DS8's scores today and he did pretty well: 453 Verbal and 435 Math. It gives percentiles against 4th graders since DS is in 2nd grade.

My question is how to define a "normative population of 4th graders." Does it mean they gave the SCAT to a regular population of kids to define norms, or is it based on a population of kids who had to qualify to take the test like DS did? I'm would imagine it's regular population, but am curious.

Thanks!
