Scoring using Q-Global

•Digital forms are scored automatically using the Q-global platform when a report is generated.

•To score the Paper Form, select the Q-global manual entry option and enter the required examinee’s information and item responses.

•If an item response is missing or uninterpretable (e.g., two responses were chosen for an item), leave the item response blank.

Interpretation

Student A, age 4 years 1 month, was referred for evaluation of

intellectual giftedness. She was administered the Raven’s 2

Digital Long Form in a group of five students over a 45-minute

period. Due to a 15-minute break, her true administration time

was 30 minutes.

She received an ability score of 472 points. Her age-based

standard score is 130 with a 95% confidence interval of 119–141.

Student A performed at or better than 98% of her same-age

peers. Her general cognitive ability falls into the Extremely High

range, classifying her as intellectually gifted. Her age equivalent

is 7 years 10 months.

Technical Properties

Norm Sample

•A national sample, representative of the U.S. general population ages 4:0 to 90:11, was collected from December 2016 through August 2017.

•Data from the U.S. Census Bureau (2015) provided the basis for stratification along the following variables: age, education, race/ethnicity, geographic region, and gender.
