1 Standard CAT reports School: Sample School Section: A, B, C. Group: Sample Group No. of pupils: 20 CAT level: D. 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 raw score with the national standardisation sample, taking chronological age into account. This shows how each pupil 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 scores The chart shows the average SAS scores for each test battery with 80% confidence bands indicated by the vertical lines.

2 If the vertical line overlaps the national '100' line the results for your group do not differ significantly from the national average. Section B - Comparison of group and national SAS distributions The bar charts show the percentage of pupils that fall within certain ranges of scores. The charts allow you to Cognitive compare the score distribution of your group with the national standardisation sample. The distribution of the national standardisation sample is a "normal" distribution Section C - Pupils' CAT scores listed by Mean SAS. Abilities Test Scores for each pupil are shown as a Raw Score (RS), a Standard Age Score (SAS), a Stanine (ST), a National Percentile Rank (NPR) and a Group Rank (GR).

3 SASs cover a wide range (from 60- to 140+) and this range can be subdivided into nine Standard bands called stanines (from ' Standard nines') which some people find are a convenient shorthand form of SAS. It should be remembered that some detail has been lost in grouping the scores into Stanines; SASs are a more precise measure. National Percentile Rank can help you assess your pupils in the context of the national picture. For example, a pupil 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 pupil whose NPR is 60).

4 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 pupil Further Information about CAT scores is provided in the Cognitive name. More details about the profiles are given at the start of Section D. Abilities Test Administration Manual.

The following pages contain individual profiles for each pupil in your class/group. The data is presented in both tabular and graphical format. The table does not include the Group Rank which is omitted so that the profile may more easily be shared with pupils and parents. The chart shows the Standard age scores for each battery, with the 90% confidence band marked around each score. This band is important, particularly if Standard age scores are being used for cut-off purposes.
