A student completes a series of standardized tests. On one test, the student scores at the 50th percentile. On another test, the student scores at the 5.0 grade equivalent. And, on yet another, the student's stanine score is 5. What do you know about
this student?
What will be an ideal response?
A score at the 50th percentile tells you that there were an equal number of students who scored better or worse than this student. A grade-equivalent score tells you that the norming group at grade 5.0 would receive this score, on the average. A stanine score of 5 tells you that the student scored at the mean.
