考试注意事项:

• Listen to and read the directions for each subtest carefully.
• Pace yourself – Time limits are set for each subtest. The test administrators will announce when time is halfway through so you can determine if you are working at a pace that will enable you to finish. Try 不 to spend too much time on one item.
• 仔细阅读每个问题.
• Work out the problem – Use scratch paper or your test booklet to do any figuring.
• Answer every question – If you are unsure of an answer, take your best educated guess. Your score is determined by the number of items you answer correctly; there is no penalty for answering incorrectly.
• Check your work – If there is time left, go back and review your answers. Check to make sure each item has only one response. 在整个测试过程中, continuously check that the answer you are marking on your answer sheet corresponds to the item number in the test booklet. Each answer should be marked with a #2 pencil. The selected answer - in scantron format - should be colored in with a dark mark labeled inside of the lines of each circle.

我孩子的考试成绩如何?
The number of questions that your child answered correctly is added up for each subtest. Points are 不 subtracted for incorrect answers. Your student's raw scores (the number of correct answers) are then converted to standard scores and national percentile rankings for each subtest. The national percentile tells what percentage of students had scores below your student in a national sample. National percentiles range from 1 (low) to 99 (high). A percentile rank of 50 is exactly average.

Your student's composite scores (Total Cognitive Skills, 基本技能, and Battery Composite scores) are computed in the same way.  The raw scores are added together from the subtests that make up each composite score and are then converted to standard scores and national percentiles. See below for the parts that make up each composite score.

-整体认知能力=语言能力 & 定量单项成绩
-基本技能 = 阅读,数学, & 语言单项成绩
-Composite = Verbal, Quantitative, 阅读,数学, & 语言单项成绩


TEST SCORES (NATIONAL PERCENTILES)

Your student’s performance on each area of the test is reported in terms of standard scores and national percentile ranks. Your student’s scores are listed in numeric form under each subtest header. The abbreviated subtest headers are expanded upon in the section titled “What the Test Measures.” Standard scores range from 200-800. Percentiles range from 1-99 and compare your student’s performance with that of other students. Your student’s national percentile rank indicates the percentage of students in the national sample that had lower scores than your student. Your student’s national percentiles are also illustrated in the graph in terms of a performance rating.

This section explains what each subtest measures and defines the parts that make up Total Cognitive Skills, 基本技能, 和电池复合材料.
