About this Assessment
•
PAT Reading Comprehension Stanines enable a student’s achievement to be compared against National Norms. They also enable teachers and parents
to compare student performance across cohort groups.
•
Stanines and their associated test scores have been scaled and ‘normed’ to fit the
‘
Bell Curve of Normal Distribution
’.
•
This test became available in its current form to schools in 2008.
•
This test assesses a student’s level of reading comprehension. This is the fifth time that this test have been used at Waikanae School and it provides excellent
insights into the next steps for learning and teaching.
•
As the Ministry of Education have supplied the Scaled Score match to National Standards we are able provide the Indicative National Standards grades of Well
Below, Below, At, and Above for Years 6 to 8. This has been treated as an end of year (EOY) summative assessment for 2011 due to the fact that students still have
10 months of learning to undertake in their relevant Year Group.
•
As a result of these Ministry Scaled Score Matches we are also able to supply Comparisons to Equivalent Year Group End of Year Performance. It is important to
note with this graphs that students still have 10 months of learning to get to the appropriate Year level Performance
