[QUOTE="buddy, post: 469935, member: 12886"] I agree, good point Keista. On norm referenced tests they give percentile rank (not percentage correct) which means at the 5th percentile he is not at 2 SD below the average (mean) score. I hate statistics, but in the end, it is a subtest of a subtest...so...as I said I [personally would just use it as a clue that this may be a relative weakness, not that the skill does not exist. Just MHO, I dont get excited about standardized tests, they are useful for getting a diagnosis and getting service and help gude medication decisions if needed. They can give clues to strengths and weaknesses, help differentiate one disorder from another, and after that, the most important information is how the kid is doing in real life, home, school, etc. [/QUOTE]
