[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finally a test my august boy has a leg up on!
[/quote]

well only if its a grade based norm.  Not if its an age based norm which from other posters it sounds like it is.[/quote]

Not true.  PP does have an advantage for an August child since s/he might be up to 11 months younger than other kids in the class taking the same test, and scores will be boosted relative to those older kids.[/quote]

do you understand what an age based norm is?  it means the child will only be compared to kids the exact same age.  [/quote]
But that can be about one year apart.  I think one year at that age can be significant.  So, I agree, a child with an August bday wouldn't have an advantage over a child with a bday just after the cut off.  It would be the other way around.[/quote]

age normed would be for kids the SAME AGE - for example 7 years and 1 month.  Not all the kids in the class.  If they are comparing all the kids in the class that is "grade norming".  [/quote]
I would think age normed is by year, not by month. Is there anywhere it states it's by month?  A redshirted kid would not be in the same group for "age normed"; the kid would be in the group for "grade normed" however.[/quote]

If that is the case then what is the difference between age normed and grade normed?  They would be nearly identical using your definition and so why would Inview score both?   I'm quite sure it is by month but I don't know where it is specified.[/quote]
