[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is normal. No, it is not okay. I actually emailed the developers for the means and standard deviation and was told that they were not available. I was more than a little surprised by that![/quote]

Right.  I was just very surprised that there’s no range at all given on the scores.  I have no idea how to actually interpret them.[/quote]

Frankly, I gave the test and have no idea how to interpret the scores.

I LIKE this test and think it is a good match to what I see in the classroom and how kids perform on the test.
 I LIKE the parts  of the test, that it assesses the most important parts of Kindergarten (number sense, just a little geometery, computation and patterning)  I LIKE how it is laid out and is one on one with manipulatives.
Having given a ton of tests over my teaching career,   I think it is a strong developmentally math assessment.

BUT, then they use statistical testing messy formula to give out the scores and it loses value, especially when parents haven't seen the assessment.

I wish the scores were reported as a list of skills your child is able to do, rather than a very meaningless score.  Maybe this will improve in time?
