Cathy is seven years old and in the 3rd grade. She takes a standardized test at school and her parents are told that her score places her at age grade 4.2. What type of norm does this describe?
  1. Age norms
  2. Grade norms
  3. National norms
  4. Subgroup norms
Explanation
Answer: B - Grade norms are designed to indicate average test performance of students in a particular grade or over a range of grades. Grade norms are widely used to assess academic performance among children. Unlike age norms, grade norms allow for some developmental differences among children in the same grade. Grade norms are typically presented as the school year and month in which the student is placed. In this example, Cathy’s score indicates her performance is equivalent to that of a typical student in the second month of 4th grade.
