What is the purpose of reporting index scores?
Index scores provide information about a student’s strengths and weaknesses across receptive and expressive modalities, language content, language structure, and the application of working memory to linguistic content and structure.
What are scale scores?
Test scaled scores are used to measure specific aspects of language and compare the student’s performance to the performance of same-aged peers.
These scores are obtained from the total raw scores for each test. They have a mean of 10 and a standard deviation (SD) of 3. For example, a scaled score of 7 will have -1 SD.
