Why isn the sequence of scales in the norms tables consistent throughout?
The sequence is consistent if viewed in relation to which scales contribute to the GCA at any particular age. The GCA scales are always listed first, in administration order, followed by Recall of Objects, if it is normed for the age group in question. These are followed by any core scales which are normed for the age but are not part of the GCA, e.g. Early Number Concepts for children under 3 years. The diagnostic scales are then listed in administration order, with the Alternative Procedure norms for Pattern Construction being given last of all, as these will only be used for a minority of cases.
