Which of these would be the best way to find the average score for the group? </p><p>Incorrect: 2. convert each percentile rank to a stanine score, then calculate the average stanine Stanines are not very precise scores. </p><p>------Question 5 </p><p>A student took the third-grade level of a standardized, norm-referenced achievement test in the third grade. In fifth grade, the student took the fifth-grade level of the same test battery. To determine how much growth the student made, it would be best to calculate the difference between the fifth-grade and third-grade </p><p>Incorrect: 3. stanine scores </p><p>------Question 6 </p><p>The standard error of measurement is used to describe </p><p>Incorrect: 4. the amount of variability around the average score for a group of examinees </p><p>------Question 7 </p><p>When selecting a standardized test, which of these would be of least concern when examining information in the technical manual about how the test was developed and normed? </p><p>Correct: 2. the mathematical formulas used to derive the standard scores </p><p>Mathematical formulas used for obtaining most types of derived scores don't vary within the testing industry. </p><p>------Question 8 </p><p>A student obtained the following national percentile rank scores on a norm-referenced achievement battery: English/language arts Mathematics Science Social Studies Total Battery 73 92 67 73 85 Based on the information provided, which of these is an accurate interpretation of the test scores? </p><p>Correct: 1. Mathematics is an area of relative strength for the student. </p><p>This is the only thing that can be concluded from the scores. </p><p>------Question 9 </p><p>Which of these suggestions for guessing on multiple-choice items would most likely result in test scores that are closest to the examinee's true level of achievement? </p><p>Correct: 2. Eliminate as many answer choices as possible before making a guess. </p><p>This suggestion is consistent with best practice and will yield the most reliable score. </p><p>------Question 10 </p><p>When administering a standardized achievement test, which of these is most likely to be allowed? </p><p>Correct: 1. repeating or simplifying any oral directions that students do not understand </p><p>This is the only answer choice that does not violate standardized test administration.</p>
