, Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test process
• Calculate the difference between two scores by taking one from the other




DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA
• Rank the differences giving the smallest difference Rank 1

Note: do not rank any differences of 0 and when adding the number of scores,
do not count those with a difference of 0, and ignore the signs when calculating
the difference

• Add up the ranks for positive differences

• Add up the ranks for negative differences

• T is the figure that is the smallest when the ranks are totalled (may be positive
or negative)

• N is the number of scores left, ignore those with 0 difference
