[quote=Anonymous]Here's the recommendation form from a few years ago (not sure if this is the current format and some Qs have likely changed). The format which didn't copy over is a table. Each row has a statement (eg "Reading ability in relation to age and grade level") and the evaluator selects N/A or 1-5 for each statement. The scores for each row are then totaled. Each evaluation also has a free text section.
