The Iowa battery of tests is a nationally normed, standardized test yielding “percentile” ranks, which are comparisons against norm group scores. To determine which test levels are normed against the grade your child is in, refer to the table:
Test Level: | Normed Against: |
---|---|
5/6 | Kindergarteners |
7 | 1st graders |
8 | 2nd graders |
9 | 3rd graders |
10 | 4th graders |
11 | 5th graders |
12 | 6th graders |
13 | 7th graders |
14 | 8th graders |
15 | 9th graders |
16 | 10th graders |
17 | 11th graders |
18 | 12th graders |
In special circumstances, test levels can be compared against one grade higher or one grade lower, but this requires a special request. If previous scores are low, a learning disability exists, or some other circumstance requires special consideration, feel free to email us at testing@chewv.org.
