Did the school or an ed psych administer this

145 is very high on other types of test. The average score is generally 100 with a deviation of 15. 120 plus very good & 130 plus exceptional.

Could you type it out exactly as written. If 145 is a standard score that's very high indeed.

Now the Dash handwriting test I have heard of as ds's score was so low he gets use of a laptop in exams.

Thanks both. Its just a number, 145. There are seperate scores for english and maths, then WRAT and dash handwriting. This is in addition to the quarterly reports we receive as daughter currently has key worker due to vision problems. I'll contact key worker when they return.

What are the scores - I'll tell you what they mean.

Why do schools do this.

I've not heard of them but assume they are an alternative to CATS or Midyis

Before ds's school released his scores we went to an explanatory presentation & the scores themselves were accompanied by a fact sheet.

Are they expressed as percentiles or scores?
