    Apparently my memory is very bad, and my visual and auditory processing. frown

    Am I missing something here? My composite was a mere 115, but that landed me at 84th percentile for everyone taking the test, not just my age. That doesn't sound right... :\

    Lina, they are still collecting data, so this could be very much off from a test that's been used much more often. This test is also developed by the founder of LearningRx, there was a thread here recently about that place.
    You may be able to use this data as just a piece of information that might help, but I wouldn't place any importance on it. BTW, if you really do just have a 115 composite, then you have one heck of a work ethic to get the SAT scores you did!

    Yeah, it seems like the actual numbers are off, but I think generally it's still right. I never did have a good memory, and I always scored highest on logic and reasoning.

    I have one question--Is this really compatible with other IQ scores? Dottie said that she had a perfect score on one section and only recieved a 120? How would you get higher for that section?

    I was playing around with the URL and found a big bug. You can see other people's score reports if you know their username.

    https://gcstest.com/evaluation/reports/student_ev_results.php?userid=username goes here&printable=1

    I tried "eric" and found a boy's score report. :\ Better email them about it.

    did you find me dottie? I had 118 cognitive comp, and a 136 in logic.

    Note: What do we think of this statement at the end of the report:
    The following average gains (in percentile) have been achieved in the clinical program: Average Pre-Intervention (19.0), Post-Intervention (49.5), and Net Gain (30.5) in Composite Cognitive Score with 12 weeks of intense targeted brain training. Reported by Standard Score: Pre (84.6), Post (100.1), Gain (15.5).

    Here is one of my subscores:
    Logic & Reasoning: The ability to reason, form concepts, and solve problems using unfamiliar information or novel procedures
    Raw_____Total_____% rank_____Standard score
    16______20________99_________136


    I think this test needs a lot of work for norming

    Nope, 122 for processing speed. are you looking up by guessed user names or have you found another way to look up results? I used a different user name.

    Oh, Dottie LOVES her data! You have no idea how happy she is wading through test scores.

    It turns out to be a ridiculously useful obsession for the rest of us here! (Dunno if it's useful to Dottie. LOL!) We LOVE that she LOVES her data! It's like having a professional test score analyzer on staff. For free!

    Dottie rocks! laugh
