When we order, do you want us to list the grade that the student will be entering,or the grade they are in when taking the test?
We need the CURRENT grade at the time of testing. Here’s why: The 1970 CAT as we use it interprets a grade as being from September through August, with a decimal place indicating the month the test was taken. For example, a 7th grade test taken in September is indicated as grade 7.0, October is 7.1, and so on. June, July, and August are lumped together under 7.9. There are three sets of norms tables for each grade: beginning of the school year (Sep, Oct, Nov), midyear (Dec, Jan, Feb), and end of year (Mar – Aug). The month the student is tested – or marked as being tested – will determine to which set of norms he or she will be compared. On the student’s answer sheet, you can only mark the grade as a whole number and the test date. Our computers calculate the decimal portion of the grade and select the approriate norms tables. If, therefore, for some reason you want to show a student as entering the next grade, you will need to mark the month tested accordingly. Example: Andrew is a 4t
