Actually, it was for his class so he did it by the book. He even said that she fizzled out too and the real score is higher. Oh well. It doesn't matter at this age!
I guess I wasn't clear. I meant that I wonder how much of that expectation that kids will not do as well as they could is built into the test, not how much your particular tester might have added in somehow on his own. But I would also advise against putting too much stock in scores obtained by using a student tester, especially for really young kids. I have heard that an inexperienced tester can end up scoring kids inappropriately low
or high.
