The following pages give a summary of the results achieved by your group based on the Verbal, Quantitative,Non-Verbal and the overall mean CAT Standard Age Scores (SAS). A SAS comes from comparing a pupil's rawscore with the national standardisation sample, taking chronological age into account. This shows how eachpupil is performing compared to the national average for their age. The national average SAS is 100.

Section A - Comparison of group and national SAS mean scoresThe chart shows the average SAS scores for each test battery with 80% confidence bands indicated by thevertical lines. If the vertical line overlaps the national '100' line the results for your group do not differsignificantly from the national average.

Section B - Comparison of group and national SAS distributionsThe bar charts show the percentage of pupils that fall within certain ranges of scores. The charts allow you tocompare the score distribution of your group with the national standardisation sample. The distribution of thenational standardisation sample is a "normal" distribution

Section C - Pupils' CAT scores listed by Mean SASScores for each pupil are shown as a Raw Score (RS), a Standard Age Score (SAS), a Stanine (ST), a NationalPercentile Rank (NPR) and a Group Rank (GR).

SASs cover a wide range (from 60- to 140+) and this range can be subdivided into nine standard bands calledstanines (from 'standard nines') which some people find are a convenient shorthand form of SAS. It should beremembered that some detail has been lost in grouping the scores into Stanines; SASs are a more precisemeasure.

National Percentile Rank can help you assess your pupils in the context of the national picture. For example, apupil achieving an NPR of 60 has a higher SAS than 60% of pupils in the standardisation sample (or,equivalently, 40% of pupils in the standardisation sample had an SAS higher than or equal to that of a pupilwhose NPR is 60). Group Rank indicates a pupil's position relative only to the other pupils in your class/group,ranked according to SAS for each battery, or mean SAS (for example, 3rd out of 30).

You can view the individual pupils' CAT profiles (Section D) for a particular pupil by clicking on the pupilname. More details about the profiles are given at the start of Section D.

Information relating to the CAT

The following pages contain individual profiles for each pupil in your class/group. The data is presented in bothtabular and graphical format. The table does not include the Group Rank which is omitted so that the profile maymore easily be shared with pupils and parents.

The chart shows the standard age scores for each battery, with the 90% confidence band marked around eachscore. This band is important, particularly if standard age scores are being used for cut-off purposes.

Statistically we can only estimate a pupil's true score on CAT because their performance on any one occasioncan be affected by a number of factors such as mood, illness, external distractions etc. This means that, onanother day, the same pupil could get a different score. However, we can use statistics to estimate the range ofscores within which we can be 90% confident that the pupil's true score lies. The width of these bands variesaccording to the individual SAS, with most 'irregularity' occurring where an SAS is extremely high or very low.

Note:A pupil's SAS scores are only an estimate of true ability as performance on any one occasion can be affected by a number of factors such as mood, illness etc. So, onanother day, the same pupil could get a different score. Statistical methods can be used to estimate the range of scores within which you can be 90% sure that the pupil'strue score lies.
