2005-2006
These results are based on national norms using the Stanford
Achievement Test Series, Ninth Edition
A grade equivalent is based on a10-month school year. If a student scores at the average
of all fifth graders tested in the first month of the school year, he or she would obtain a
G.E. (grade equivalency ) of 5.1. Following are the class averages:
Grade
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
5th
6th
7th
8th
9th
10th
11th
G.E
2.4
4.7
3.8
6.0
7.5
N/A
9.3
10.3
Post High School

11.7
Grade equivalent (G.E.) is a norm-referenced score and caution should be used when
interpreting this type of score. For example, if a student at the end of fourth grade obtains
a G.E. of 8.8 on a mathematics test, this does not mean that the child can do eighth-grade
work. Rather, it means that the child obtained the same score as an average student in the
eighth month of the eighth grade, had the eighth-grade student taken the fourth grade test.
