Standard deviation - correct answer-1 SD below mean = 85; 1 SD above mean =115; 2 SDs
below mean = 70; and 2 SDs above mean = 130
one SD for most tests = 15 points
Standard Deviations - correct answer-one standard deviation for WISC-V / WJ IV = 15 point
and the
Mean / Median score for both tests is 100
standard error of measurement - correct answer-the overall SEM for WISC-V FSIQ is 3
standard scores
Standard score and ranges for WISC - correct answer-130+ Extremely High
120-129 Very High
110-119 High Average
90-109 Average
80-89 Low Average
70-79 Very Low
69- Extremely Low
Standard score and ranges for WJ IV - correct answer-151+ Exceptionally Superior
131-150 Very Superior, High
121-130 Superior
111-120 High Average
90-110 Average
80-89 Low Average
70-79 Low
50-69 Very Low
49- Exceptionally Low
standardized - correct answer-(1) requires all test takers to answer the same questions, or a
selection of questions from common bank of questions, in the same way, and that (2) is
scored in a "standard" or consistent manner, which makes it possible to compare the relative
performance of individual students or groups of students.
starting point - correct answer-helps reduce testing time, based on a person's achievement
level and not age or grade
Statistically Significant - correct answer-Statistically significant results are those that are
interpreted to not occur purely by chance and are therefore believed to have other
underlying causes for their occurrence.
true score - correct answer-the score that would be obtained if there were no error in
measurement
, Gsm: areas of cog difficulty - correct answer-following multi-step instrutions
remembering info long enough to apply it
remembering sequences
Gsm: definition - correct answer-ability to hold info in immediate awareness and use or
transform it within a few seconds
Gsm: interventions - correct answer-provide supports to supplement oral instruction
break down instructional steps
outline math procedures
emphasize drafting first
Gv: areas of academic weakness - correct answer-orthographic coding in reading
sight-words in reading
number alignment during math computations
spatial planning in writing
Gv: areas of cog difficulty - correct answer-recognizing patterns, reading maps, graphs,
charts
recalling visual info
Gv: definition - correct answer-ability to synthesize and analyze visual info
Gv: interventions - correct answer-capitalize on students phonemic skills for decoding tasks
teach orthographic strategies for decoding
provide direct handwriting practice
use graph paper
How does norm -referenced assessment differ from Curriculum-based or other criterion
referenced measures used in other courses - correct answer-norm-referenced compare
one's performance to that of others in the population
curriculum based compare one's performance to a pre-defined set of criteria or standard to
determine if the examinee has demonstrated mastery of a skill
ID disability criteria - correct answer-IQ: intellectual functioning ranging from two to three
standard deviations below the mean
deficits in adaptive functioning expected for his or her age in at least two skill areas
before 18
IQ vs Achievement - correct answer-IQ measures cognitive ability and academic skill
measures what you have learned
Percentile Ranks - correct answer-indicates the percentage of people in a norm sample who
had scores the same as or lower than the examinee's score
they are not on an equal-interval scale
50-25 is not the same as 60-35, even though the difference is both 25
