The development and standardization of the Basic Achievement SkillsInventory (BASI™) spanned over four years and was accomplished throughthe efforts of many individuals with diverse backgrounds and expertise.

The idea for a test like the BASI began in the late 90s at workshops with psy-chologists and educators who expressed interest in having a way to evaluateacademic skills using an efficient yet comprehensive tool. This would haveremained just a wish and an idea if it weren’t for the vision and support ofJulie Ethier, product manager at Pearson Assessments. Julie was the drivingforce behind and a source of energy for the development team. She wasinvolved with the initial conceptualization and the operationalization of theBASI test. Her leadership skills helped the development team overcome hur-dles typical of a project of this nature. Her contributions to all aspects of theBASI development project are difficult to describe. She reviewed all testitems, helped with item selection, and assisted with the computerized reportsacross all levels and forms. The quality of the BASI test is to a great extent aresult of her insightful input.

Dr. Julie Lackaff (project manager of the BASI development team) accom-plished the impossible tasks involved in the development of a multi-yearmulti-level test. She participated in the initial design of the test and in itemselection, recruited test sites for the pilot and standardization projects, man-aged the databases, collected validity and reliability data, wrote and reviewedsections of the manual, and was able to juggle with great success the hun-dreds of tasks that are part of such an enormous project. She ensured that thehighest standards of quality were applied to every aspect of the project. Thistest would not be what it is if it were not for Julie and her dedication.

Dr. John Kamp (senior psychologist) consulted on this project from the initialsteps of item selection and provided insightful feedback on the data analysisprocess and the writing of the manual. He assisted with data collection in thecorrections and employment settings. Dr. Kamp also ensured that all BASImanuals were clear, easy to understand, and comprehensive.

Dr. Michael Cunningham (University of Louisville) also consulted on theBASI project. He assisted during the item selection process by analyzing thepilot data and later assisted with the calculation of the grade- and age-equiva-lent scores. Thank you, Mike, for all your efforts and timely responses to allof our data analysis requests.

Dr. Jack A. Naglieri (George Mason University) spent countless hours on the phone and in person consultingon data analysis and norms generation and providing overall guidance of the BASI development project.Jack, I learned everything I know about assessment from you. You have been the kind of mentor one canonly dream of. I know how lucky I was when I walked into your office at Ohio State University as a first-year graduate student in school psychology. When you review this entire project, I hope you feel that youtaught me well.

I would also like to thank all the individuals at Pearson Assessments who worked on various aspects of thetest. In addition, I am most grateful to a number of colleagues around the country who assisted with the datacollection and the validity studies. These were Drs. Kerry Lassitter (The Citadel), Steven Truscott (Univer-sity of Buffalo), James McDougal (State University of New York, Oswego), Natalie Politikos (University ofConnecticut), Diane Cooke (Worcester State College), and Judy Johnson (University of Houston).

I am also very grateful to my graduate students who helped me with all aspects of the project. Greg Wochoscollected a significant portion of the data for the validity studies, and Christa Hutaff assisted with the dataanalysis. Kathleen Woodward reviewed all test booklets, answer sheets, and manuals and collected and ana-lyzed data and presented the results at conferences. Kathleen, thank you for your collegial support andfriendship.

Finally, I would also like to thank the test administrators and the thousands of parents, children, and adultswho participated in the standardization of the various forms of the BASI test.

Introduction

The Basic Achievement Skills Inventory (BASI™) test is a series of multi-level, group or individually administered, norm-referenced achievement teststhat measure reading, written language, and math skills among children andadults. The BASI test is designed to be convenient to use, broad in coverage,and well suited to a wide variety of applications.

There are two versions of the BASI test: Comprehensive and Survey. TheComprehensive version consists of subtests at four grade-specific levels.Level 1 is for grades 3 and 4, Level 2 for grades 5 and 6, Level 3 for grades7 and 8, and Level 4 for grades 9 through 12. For each of the four test levelsthere are six subtests: Vocabulary, Spelling, Language Mechanics, ReadingComprehension, Math Computation, and Math Application. These six sub-tests are further organized into three composite areas that yield total scores:Reading, Written Language, and Math.

The BASI Survey is a briefer instrument with similar content but a differentstructure. It consists of two tests: Verbal Skills and Math Skills. Verbal skillsare assessed using vocabulary, language mechanics, and reading comprehen-sion questions, and math skills are assessed using math computation andmath application questions. The two BASI Survey tests can be administeredtogether or independently; each has a 25-minute time limit. Two manuals,one for educational and clinical applications and one for workforce applica-tions, provide guidelines for using the BASI Survey. (See the PearsonAssessments catalog for more information about the Survey version of theBASI test.)

This manual is devoted to the more in-depth BASI Comprehensive test. Itdescribes the development and statistical properties of the test as well as howto interpret and use the information it generates.

Structure of the BASI Comprehensive Test

The content of each subtest of the BASI Comprehensive test is brieflydescribed below. A more detailed description of the specific content areasassessed by each subtest is presented in Chapter 5.

Vocabulary. Measures the test taker’s skills in identifying the meaning ofwords within the context of a sentence, recognizing synonyms and antonyms,analyzing verbal analogies, and recognizing the meaning of words presentedin isolation.

Spelling. Assesses the test taker’s ability to identify correctly spelled and mis-spelled words. At each level, the Spelling subtest includes sight words, com-monly misspelled words, and words with affixes.

numbers, fractions, and decimals and to simplifynumerical expressions and algebraic equations.

Math Application. Measures the test taker’s abilityto solve mathematical word problems using all thebasic arithmetic operations, to read and interpret datapresented in graphs or tables, to solve problems in-volving the measurement of shapes and volumes, andto demonstrate knowledge of measurement principlesas they relate to length, weight, volume, perimeter,and money.

The six subtests are further organized into threecomposite areas—Reading, Written Language, andMath—for which total scores can be calculated.The Reading Total score is based on the Vocabularyand Reading Comprehension subtests, the WrittenLanguage Total score is based on the Spelling andLanguage Mechanics subtests, and the Math Totalscore is based on the Math Computation and MathApplication subtests.

At each level there are two forms of each BASIsubtest. Form A was normed in the fall (August–December), and Form B was normed in the spring(January–July). This allows the BASI test to be usedto measure progress within a school year.

BASI norms are based on data collected during the2002–2003 school year using a nationwide sampleof over 4,000 students matched to the 2000 U.S.Census (see Chapter 4). These norms are used togenerate a wide variety of scores: standard scores(mean = 100, standard deviation = 15), confidenceintervals, percentile ranks, grade-equivalent scores,and age-equivalent scores. Also available for eachsubtest are the percentage correct for the subtest andfor individual achievement areas. The various BASIscores are described in detail in Chapter 3.

The content of each BASI subtest was determinedusing a set of curriculum standards referred to asthe MCAD® (Model Curriculum and Assessment

Language Mechanics. Measures the examinee’sknowledge of various grammar and syntax rules,including capitalization, punctuation, verb forms,and tense agreement.

Reading Comprehension. Consists of passages thatthe examinee must read and understand in order toanswer questions about the main idea, sequence ofevents, and setting. These literal comprehensionquestions are complemented by questions that assessinferential comprehension skills such as identifyingcause and effect relationships, predicting outcomes,and drawing conclusions.

Math Computation. Assesses the test taker’s abilityto apply the four basic arithmetic operations to whole

Overview of Key Characteristics

The BASI test uses a multiple-choice item formatand is designed for ease of group administration.It can also be administered to individual examineeswith relatively little supervision.

The standard time limits for the six BASI Com-prehensive subtests are shown in Table 1.1. The sub-tests can be administered individually or in any com-bination. The total testing time for all six subtests isjust under two hours. The BASI subtests can also beadministered untimed to yield criterion-referencedperformance information.

Database) standards. These standards are an amalga-mation of the “best-of-the-best” local, state, andnational U.S. educational standards. The MCADstandards and their use in BASI test developmentare described in Chapter 5.

The BASI subtests have strong reliability. They showsignificant correlations with commonly used group-administered and individually administered achieve-ment tests. These and other psychometric data forthe BASI test are presented in Chapter 5.

Finally, efforts were made in the development of theBASI test to minimize possible cultural bias. Thecurriculum experts and content specialists who wrotethe test items were careful to use unbiased ethnic,racial, and cultural references, to avoid sexist lan-guage and stereotypes, and to avoid geographic andsocioeconomic bias. The success of these efforts wasconfirmed by an independent review of BASI itemcontent conducted by a panel consisting of teachers,learning disability specialists, reading specialists,and college professors.

Distinguishing Features

The BASI test series was designed for convenience ofuse. Test users can choose between the shorter Surveyversion and the more in-depth Comprehensive ver-sion. The Comprehensive test’s modular design al-lows individual subtests or subtest combinations to beused for targeted assessment of specific skills, or allsix subtests can be used for a complete evaluation ofacademic achievement. Testing time for each subtestis relatively brief, and the approximate two-hour ad-ministration time for all six subtests compares favor-ably to those for many comprehensive achievementtests. The multiple-choice item format allows groupadministration (e.g., to an entire classroom) or admin-istration to individual examinees with minimal super-vision. Finally, Pearson Assessments offers a varietyof convenient administration and scoring options forthe BASI test, as described in Chapter 2.

The BASI Comprehensive test has also been careful-ly normed. The test’s standardization sample of over4,000 students tested in 2002–2003 was constructedto match the 2000 U.S. Census on the followingdemographic variables: gender, race and ethnicity,geographic region, and socioeconomic status (meas-

ured by the parents’ level of education). In addition,the sample was drawn from a representative mix ofpublic and private schools and from urban, suburban,and rural schools.

The BASI test allows assessment of achievementacross a very wide range. Nearly all individuals, evenif academically deficient, should be able to correctlyanswer some test items at their grade level, allowingfor differentiation of performance at low levels ofachievement. Conversely, because perfect or nearlyperfect scores on any subtest are rare, the BASI testcan differentiate levels of academic giftedness. In otherwords, the test has both a low floor and a high ceiling.

Increasingly, local, state, and federal agencies arerequiring schools to demonstrate academic progressfor their students. Because the BASI test has twoforms, one (Form A) standardized during the fall ofthe school year and one (Form B) standardizedduring the spring, it can be used to measure anddocument student progress.

Uses

The BASI Comprehensive test was designed to beuseful for a wide variety of applications. Many ofthese applications can be grouped into three broadcategories, as follows.

Help identify appropriate educational programmingand thereby improve learning:

• Diagnose learning disabilities in reading, writtenexpression, and math

• Design appropriate instructional plans and learninginterventions

• Evaluate students for gifted programs

• Place college students

• Make literacy, ESL, GED®, and other placementdecisions for adult learners

• Evaluate offenders for program placement

Help ensure success in government-mandatedtesting programs:

• Evaluate student progress during a school year orover several years

• Practice for or predict performance on a high-stakes test

• Efficiently complete triennial evaluations forstudents with an IEP or 504 plan

Realize the general benefits of an accurate assess-ment of educational achievement:

• Identify a child’s or adult’s academic strengths andweaknesses

• Compare performance to the national average

• Aid in career counseling

Because of its strong psychometric properties, theBASI Comprehensive test is also a good choice foruse in research and program evaluation.

Choosing the BASI Comprehensiveor Survey Version

In general, the user should select the BASI Com-prehensive version when an in-depth assessment ofacademic achievement is needed, pinpointing specificcontent areas through the use of individual subtestsor across a broad spectrum through administration ofall six subtests. Approximately two hours of testingtime is needed to administer all six subtests. TheBASI Survey is preferable when a less in-depthassessment of verbal skills, math skills, or both isrequired and the 25-minute testing time for each testprovides a better fit.

Users in elementary school, middle school, and highschool settings will usually find the Comprehensiveversion better suited to their needs. Particularly valu-able is the availability of one form normed duringthe fall and one normed during the spring at eachgrade level, which allows the BASI Comprehensivetest to be used to assess student progress over thecourse of a school year. However, the Survey doeshave norms for students in grades 3 through 12 andcan be useful as a screening measure.

Conversely, BASI users who work with adults mayprefer the Survey version for most applications. TheSurvey has adult norms, whereas the Comprehensiveversion does not. The shorter testing time for theSurvey may be more practical for many settings inwhich the academic skills of adults are assessed. TheSurvey can also be used to help determine whichlevel of the BASI Comprehensive test to administerto a child or adult.

Limitations

The norms for the BASI Comprehensive test arebased on the performance of U.S. students in grades3 through 12. The test can be usefully administeredto individuals younger or older than these ages be-cause grade-equivalent scores are provided. Exam-ples might include assessing a first or second graderfor giftedness or an adult for placement in an educa-tional program. However, for a test taker outside thegrade 3 to 12 range, standardized scores that directlycompare the individual to others his or her own ageare not currently available.

Any test can be misused. It is imperative that usersof the BASI tests follow commonly accepted profes-sional guidelines for test use and interpretation, suchas those found in the Standards for Educational andPsychological Testing (American Educational Re-search Association, American Psychological Asso-ciation, & National Council on Measurement inEducation, 1999). Professional ethical standards andthe standards of state credentialing agencies shouldalso be adhered to. Moreover, as with any test, theBASI test should not be used in isolation but ratherin conjunction with other pertinent information whenmaking decisions about individual examinees.

User Qualifications

All materials and reports offered by Pearson Assess-ments are assigned a qualification level based on thecredentials required to purchase them. The BASI testis a Level C product. Level C purchasers must pro-vide credentials indicating that they have a bachelor’sdegree in psychology, education, human resources,or a closely related field. Specific course work orworkshops are not required.

Administration and Scoring

5

This chapter describes how to administer and score the BASI Comprehensivetest. Topics covered include test materials, factors to consider prior to testadministration, how to administer the BASI test, and the two scoring options.

Test Materials

The BASI Comprehensive test materials include this test manual, test book-lets, answer sheets, and computer software for test administration and scor-ing. These materials are listed in the current Pearson Assessments catalog.The test materials needed will vary somewhat depending on how the userchooses to administer and score the BASI test.

Paper-and-Pencil Administration With Computer Scoring

Eight different test booklets are available for the BASI Comprehensive test:

Level 1 Form A and Form B (for grades 3–4)Level 2 Form A and Form B (for grades 5–6)Level 3 Form A and Form B (for grades 7–8)Level 4 Form A and Form B (for grades 9–12)

Each booklet contains all six subtests. (Some or all of the subtests can beadministered. It is not necessary to administer the subtests in the order inwhich they appear in the booklet.) The test booklets include test directions,sample items, and test items.

A scannable answer sheet is required to score a paper-and-pencil BASI testusing Pearson Assessments software. There are different scannable answersheets for Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4, each of which can be used to score eitherForm A or Form B. The scannable answer sheet allows computer scoring ofthe BASI test at the user’s site through scanning or key entry of the testtaker’s responses, or the answer sheet can be mailed to Pearson Assessmentsfor computer scoring. More details about computer scoring are provided laterin this chapter.

Paper-and-Pencil Administration With Hand Scoring

The same test booklet is used to administer the BASI test regardless ofwhether the test will be computer scored or hand scored. However, there aredifferent answer sheets for computer scoring and hand scoring. As with thescannable answer sheet, there are different hand-scoring answer sheets forLevels 1, 2, 3, and 4, each of which can be used to score either Form A orForm B. The hand-scoring answer sheet includes scoring directions. No sepa-rate answer keys or overlays are required, but you must have a copy of theBASI manual, which contains scoring tables. Hand scoring is discussed inmore detail later in this chapter.

Computer Administration and Scoring

With Pearson Assessments software, users can ad-minister the BASI test by computer. The softwarethen scores the test and generates a score report.No test booklets or answer sheets are needed whencomputer administration and scoring are used. Thesoftware must be installed on each individual com-puter that will be used to administer the test.

Factors to Consider Prior to Testing

This section addresses the key decisions that mustbe made prior to administering the BASI Compre-hensive test. These decisions include the appropriatelevel, form, and norms to use, timed vs. untimedadministration, possible need for accommodations,and order of subtest administration. Some of the dis-cussion in this section refers to the various scoresthat can be produced for the BASI test. All of theBASI scores are described in detail in Chapter 3.

Choosing the Level, Form, and Norms forStudent Examinees

Normally, decisions concerning the appropriateBASI test level, form, and norms to use for studentexaminees are straightforward. Students in thirdgrade should be given Level 1 and compared tothird grade norms. Students in fourth grade shouldbe given Level 1 and compared to fourth gradenorms. Similarly, Level 2 is appropriate for fifth andsixth graders, Level 3 for seventh and eighth graders,and Level 4 for ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfthgraders. The BASI test has separate norms for eachgrade level (3 through 12).

For all BASI test levels, Form A was standardized inthe fall and should be used when testing students inAugust through December. Form B was standardizedin the spring and should be used when testing stu-dents in January through July. If a repeat testing withthe same form is desired (e.g., to measure changewithin the fall or spring term), the test-retest intervalshould be longer than six weeks to minimize practiceeffects. (Chapter 3 includes a section on comparingscores from a repeat administration of the sameBASI form.)

Because the BASI test was designed to assess aca-demic achievement across a very wide range at eachgrade level, it is rarely appropriate to administer aBASI test at a level that differs from the student’sactual grade level. Even highly gifted students willbe challenged by the test for their grade level. Fur-ther, the item content for each level is designedto reflect the learning objectives that are taught andmeasured at those grades. For these reasons, admin-istering a test at a level higher than the student’sgrade level is usually not recommended.

Occasionally, however, it may be desirable to admin-ister a higher- or lower-level BASI test than wouldnormally be appropriate given the examinee’s ageand/or grade level. For example, a teacher maychoose to administer Level 3 or 4 to a highly giftedfifth grader to determine what academic skills be-yond his or her grade level the student has mastered.However, it is more likely that an administrator willchoose a test that is lower than the student’s age orgrade level. This will almost always involve an indi-vidualized assessment in a non-school setting inwhich the Level 1 or Level 2 test is given to a teen-ager who has been out of school and/or is clearlyachieving at a level far below that of others of his orher age.

When testing a teenager with the Level 1 or Level 2test, the examiner must decide whether he or she ismore interested in establishing the grade level atwhich the examinee is achieving or in determiningwhat specific content he or she has and has notmastered. In the former case, the examiner shouldadminister the BASI test using the standard timelimits and focus on the grade-equivalent scores (andperhaps age-equivalent scores), which are only inter-pretable for timed administrations. Standard scores,confidence intervals, and percentile ranks shouldnot be interpreted because these scores depend oncomparisons with the norm group at the examinee’sgrade level.

To determine what specific content a teenagerachieving far below age level has and has not mas-tered, the BASI test at the chosen level should beadministered without time limits. Untimed adminis-tration of the BASI test is discussed in more detaillater in this chapter.

Choosing the Level, Form, and Norms forAdult Examinees

As discussed in Chapter 1, the Survey version of theBASI test is preferable for most applications withadult examinees. When using the Comprehensiveversion with adults, the decision concerning whichof the four BASI level tests to administer must bebased on information other than current grade level,which is the usual criterion for third to twelfthgraders. For most adults who have finished highschool or earned a GED, Level 4 will be appropriate.However, if there is reason to believe that the adult’sskills fall below the ninth grade level, a lower leveltest may be more informative. Which level to admin-ister might be determined based on backgroundinformation such as highest grade level achieved oron the results of a broad-range adult achievementtest that yields grade-equivalent scores (such as theBASI Survey).

Form A should be used for testing adult examineesin August through December. Form B should be usedJanuary through July. If repeat testing with the sameform is desired (e.g., to measure change within thefall or spring season), the test-retest interval shouldbe longer than six weeks to minimize practice effects.(Chapter 3 includes information about comparingscores from a repeat administration of the sameBASI form.)

Because there is no adult normative sample againstwhich the performance of an adult examinee canbe compared, no meaningful standard scores, per-centile ranks, confidence intervals, or age-equivalentscores can be determined for an adult examinee.When hand scoring a BASI Comprehensive test foran examinee who is over 18 and no longer in highschool, only raw scores and grade-equivalent scoresat the subtest level should be recorded and interpret-ed. Appendixes C and G provide conversions fromsubtest raw scores to grade-equivalent scores foreach of the two forms at each of the four test levels.

When an adult’s BASI Comprehensive test is com-puter scored, the Adult Summary Report providespercentage correct scores for subtests, total scores,and achievement areas. Grade-equivalent scores forsubtests are also reported. To generate this report, theuser must specify one of the grade-level norm groups

that matches the test level (e.g., 9th-, 10th-, 11th-, or12th-grade norms for Level 4). However, the normgroup selected has no impact on the grade-equivalentscores reported because these scores are determinedby test level, not by grade level. The choice of normgroup also does not affect percentage correct scoresbecause these are simply the number correct dividedby the total number of items.

Timed or Untimed Administration

The vast majority of uses of the BASI test requireadministration of subtests using the standard timelimits given in Chapter 1. Because the test wasstandardized using these time limits, all scores thatdepend on comparisons to the BASI standardizationsample—standard scores, confidence intervals,percentile ranks, grade-equivalent scores, and age-equivalent scores—are interpretable only for timedadministrations.

If the examiner is interested solely in what specificcontent the examinee has and has not mastered andnot in norm-referenced performance information, thetest should be administered untimed. In this case, onlythe percentage correct scores for subtests and for spe-cific achievement areas should be interpreted (notethat percentage correct scores for achievement areasare not available for hand scoring). See Chapter 3 formore information about percentage correct scoresand interpreting results of an untimed administration.

Need for Accommodations

Some individuals with disabilities may need to beadministered the BASI test with accommodations sotheir test scores will accurately reflect their level ofachievement. A thorough discussion of the variouspossible test-taking accommodations is beyond thescope of this manual. The examiner should followthe testing accommodation policies established byhis or her organization and/or professional practiceguidelines to determine appropriate accommodationsfor BASI test administration.

Every effort should be made to administer the BASItest using the standard time limits for each subtest.As noted above, if untimed administration of theBASI test is deemed necessary as an accommoda-tion, none of the norm-referenced scores will bemeaningful.

Order of Subtest Administration

In the standardization of the BASI Comprehensivetest, the six subtests were administered in the sameorder as they appear in the test booklets: Vocabulary,Spelling, Language Mechanics, Reading Compre-hension, Math Computation, Math Application.However, it is not necessary to follow this order. Thesubtests can be administered in any order in one ormore sessions. Each subtest that is begun during a test-ing session should be completed during that session.

Test Administration

Except for the reading of instructions and timing ofthe subtests by an administrator, the BASI test islargely self-administering. In most circumstances itcan easily be administered to groups (e.g., an entireclass) by one or two proctors or to individual exami-nees with minimal supervision. The requirements ofan effective test administration are discussed below.

Importance of Standardized Administration

Administration of the BASI test must be carefullyconducted following the methods described in thismanual. Alteration of the instructions, materials, ortime limits may affect the test taker’s performanceand may compromise the validity of the test scores.

Rapport

Examiners should recognize the need to create anappropriate environment for testing. This includesdeveloping and maintaining rapport with examinees.Several sources provide a description of good testingpractices (Aiken, 1987; Hood & Johnson, 1991;Salvia & Ysseldyke, 1981; Sattler, 1992).

Testing Environment

The BASI test should be administered in a room that isfree of distractions. The administrator should ensurethat examinees can work comfortably. For paper-and-pencil administration, each examinee must have a goodwriting surface, adequate lighting, two No. 2 pencilswith erasers, and a test booklet and answer sheet.Scratch paper is allowed, but calculators are not.

Using the Answer Sheet Correctly

When the BASI test is administered using a testbooklet and answer sheet, it is critical that examinees

mark their answer for each item in the correct placeon the answer sheet. The administrator shouldinstruct examinees to periodically check that theircurrent test item number matches their current placeon the answer sheet. If possible, the proctor shouldcheck during testing to make sure examinees areusing the answer sheet correctly.

Test Directions

Before examinees begin each subtest, the administra-tor should read aloud the directions for that subtest.These directions should be read word for word fromthe test booklet while examinees follow along. Forthose subtests that include sample items as part ofthe directions (Vocabulary, Spelling, Math Compu-tation, Math Application), the administrator shouldread the sample items aloud and watch to make surethat examinees mark their answers to the sampleitems on their answer sheet. Timing for each subtestbegins when the administrator instructs examinees toturn to the first page of the subtest.

Group Administration

The BASI test is designed for ease of group adminis-tration. Group administration simply requires one ormore proctors to distribute the test materials, readthe instructions aloud, time the subtests, and collectthe completed tests. Proctors should remain availableat all times to monitor examinees and answer ques-tions. (See “Answering Questions” below.)

Individual Administration

As with group administration, individual administra-tion of the BASI test requires a test administrator togive out test materials, read the instructions aloud,time the subtests, and collect the completed test. It isusually not necessary for the administrator to closelymonitor the examinee while he or she is working onthe test. However, the administrator should remainreadily available in case the examinee needs assis-tance. In some special circumstances, continuousmonitoring may be required.

Answering Questions

Administrators should not volunteer informationabout guessing. If examinees ask whether or not theyshould guess on items they don’t know or don’t havetime to get to, the administrator should simply reiter-

Chapter 2. Administration and Scoring

ate the importance of working quickly but carefullyand trying to answer as many items as possible. Ifasked directly whether incorrect responses are penal-ized, the administrator may respond that they are not.If asked a question about a particular test item, theadministrator may suggest that the examinee reviewthe sample items, but he or she should not provideany additional information.

Scoring

This section addresses computer scoring and handscoring of the BASI Comprehensive test.

Computer Scoring

When the BASI test is administered using a testbooklet and scannable answer sheet, the user canscore it either by scanning the answer sheet or bykeying in the test responses. Alternatively, thescannable answer sheet can be mailed to PearsonAssessments for scoring.

Before the test can be computer scored, the identify-ing information on the scannable answer sheet mustbe completed. Normally this is done at the beginningof the testing session. When the test is administeredto a group, the administrator may find it convenientto have the test takers complete the information.When the test is administered to an individual exam-inee, the administrator may complete the informationor have the examinee complete it.

The Test Form, Grade Level, and Timed Test entrieson the answer sheet, as well as the examinee’s iden-tification number, birth date, and test date, must allbe completed for computer scoring. The examinee’sname, ethnic group/race, highest grade achieved, andgender are optional. In addition, the answer sheetthat is used for on-site scoring or for mail-in scoringwith the Student Summary Report includes a numberof boxes that can be used for recording optionalinformation that may be useful for managing, ana-lyzing, and reporting group performance data (e.g.,for a class or an entire school grade). The softwareallows the data records for BASI test takers to beeasily exported to other software programs for thesepurposes.

When the BASI test is administered by computer,scoring directions are fully contained within the soft-

ware. The same information needed to computerscore a scannable answer sheet (test form, gradelevel, timed vs. untimed, identification number, birthdate, and test date) is needed to score a computer-administered test.

Two score reports are available through computerscoring. The Student Summary Report, for studentsin grades 3 through 12, provides standard scores,confidence intervals, percentile ranks, grade-equiva-lent scores, and age-equivalent scores for subtests.Percentage correct scores and performance descrip-tors are provided for achievement areas. All of thesescores are described in detail in the next chapter.(The Student Summary Report also includes anoptional Parent’s Summary Report, which lists per-centile ranks and performance descriptors. There isalso space allotted on this report for teacher’s com-ments.) The Adult Summary Report provides grade-equivalent scores, percentage correct scores, and per-formance descriptors. Sample reports can be foundin Appendix L.

Hand Scoring

The hand-scoring answer sheet must be opened forscoring. To open the form, tear off the perforatedstrip at the bottom. The form provides sections forrecording subtest results and for computing andrecording total scores. Scoring directions are provid-ed on the form and are not repeated here. After scor-ing, retain the examinee’s results for your records.Because the rest of the form includes the answer key,shred or discard it as you would other confidentialdocuments or keep it in a secure location.

All of the scores that can be recorded on the hand-scoring form are meaningful for student examineesin grades 3 through 12. For examinees who are over18 and no longer in high school, however, only thesubtest raw scores and grade-equivalent scores aremeaningful because there is no adult normative sam-ple. For adults, standard scores, percentile ranks,confidence intervals, and age-equivalent scores forthe subtests should not be recorded or interpreted,nor should any of the total scores (Reading Total,Written Language Total, Math Total).

Chapter 3.

Interpreting BASI Scores and Results

The purpose of this chapter is to describe how to interpret the various scoresthat can be obtained from the BASI Comprehensive test. The recommendedprocedures are intended to serve as guidelines that should be applied flexiblyand within the context of other available information about the individual be-ing assessed. The discussion assumes a typical timed administration of theBASI test following the administration guidelines described in Chapter 2.

Interpreting BASI Scores

There are a number of scores that can be used to interpret an individual’s per-formance on the BASI test. Most of these scores can be obtained using handscoring or computer scoring. The scores used to interpret the BASI test in-clude raw scores, standard scores, confidence intervals of standard scores,percentile ranks, grade-equivalent scores, age-equivalent scores, and achieve-ment area scores. A sample computer-generated Student Summary Report isshown in Figure 3.1 to illustrate these different scores and their interpretation.As described in Chapter 2, the computer-generated Adult Summary Reportprovides a subset of the scores that are included in the Student SummaryReport.

Raw Scores (Hand Scoring)

For each subtest, the raw score is simply the numberof test items answered correctly. BASI raw scoresare not corrected for guessing. Note that raw scoresare not included in either the Student SummaryReport or the Adult Summary Report generated viacomputer scoring.

Standard Scores (Hand Scoring and Computer-Generated Student SummaryReport)

An examinee’s raw score is transformed into a stan-dard score with a mean of 100 and a standard devia-tion of 15 (see point 1 in Figure 3.1). Standardscores with a mean of 100 and a standard deviationof 15 are a common metric for many individuallyadministered achievement and intelligence tests. Astandard score indicates the position of an individ-ual’s score or test performance relative to the scoresof others in the test’s normative sample, which in thecase of the BASI test is designed to represent thegeneral population of U.S. students at the samegrade level as the examinee. For example, a Voca-bulary subtest standard score of 115 indicates thatthe examinee performed one standard deviationabove the mean in comparison to others at the samegrade level in the general population. Usually, about99% of individuals who take a test that is standard-ized with this metric score between 55 (three stan-dard deviations below the mean) and 145 (three stan-dard deviations above the mean). For hand-scoredtests, tables for converting raw scores to standardscores can be found in Appendixes A and B for FormA and Appendixes E and F for Form B.

Confidence Intervals (Hand Scoring andComputer-Generated Student SummaryReport)

Interpretation of BASI standard scores is furtherenhanced by the use of confidence intervals. An indi-vidual’s score on a norm-referenced test representsan estimate of his or her true standing on the con-struct measured. In measurement theory, the testtaker’s “true score” can be estimated but not directlyobtained. The difference between an individual’sobserved score and his or her true score is referred toas measurement error. All achievement tests, includ-ing the BASI test, have some measurement error.

Confidence intervals (see point 2 in Figure 3.1)account for the amount of measurement error associ-ated with a test score and should be reported andused when interpreting an examinee’s performanceon any test of ability or achievement. Confidenceintervals demonstrate the range of scores in which anindividual’s true score is likely to fall. In Figure 3.1,for example, the 95% confidence interval valuesassociated with the standard score value of 99 rangefrom 92 to 106. This suggests that it is likely (i.e.,there is a 95% probability) that the individual’s truescore falls within the range of 92 to 106.

For each BASI subtest and total score, the estimatedtrue score is calculated according to a method pro-posed by Dudek (1979) and Glutting, McDermott,and Stanley (1987). The estimated true score is ob-tained by the formula:

Estimated True Score = 100 + rxx (x – 100)

where x is the standard score obtained and rxx is theinternal consistency reliability coefficient of that sub-test or total score at the examinee’s grade level (thesereliability coefficients are shown in Tables 5.1 and5.2). The 95% confidence interval for each standardscore is calculated around the estimated true scoreusing the standard error of estimate (see) according tothe formula proposed by Stanley (1971):

see = 15 1– rxx (rxx)

This procedure for calculating 95% confidence inter-vals results in intervals that are asymmetric aroundthe observed standard score because of a correctionfor true score regression toward the mean. The confi-dence interval scores should always be reportedalong with the obtained subtest or total compositestandard score. Appendixes A and B (for Form A)and E and F (for Form B) contain tables showing the95% confidence intervals for use with hand-scoredBASI tests.

Percentile Ranks (Hand Scoring andComputer-Generated Student SummaryReport)

Further information about BASI test performance isprovided through the use of percentile ranks (seepoint 3 in Figure 3.1). For example, a percentile rankof 47 on a BASI subtest or total score indicates that

=

Chapter 3. Interpreting BASI Scores and Results

13

the individual’s performance equaled or exceededthat of 47% of the standardization sample subjects inthe same grade. Percentile ranks have the advantageof being relatively easy to understand and explain;however, they are best considered an ordinal levelmeasure. For that reason, comparisons of differentscores within the BASI test and between the BASItest and other tests should be made using standardscores, which are interval level measures. Such com-parisons are discussed in more detail later in thischapter. Percentile ranks for hand scoring are shownin Appendixes A, B, E, and F.

Grade-Equivalent Scores (Hand Scoring andComputer-Generated Student Summary Reportand Adult Summary Report)

A grade-equivalent score (point 4 in Figure 3.1) isintended to represent an examinee’s test performancein terms of the grade level at which the “average” stu-dent’s performance matches that of the examinee. Forexample, a grade-equivalent score of 3.9 indicates thata person’s performance is similar to the average (medi-an) performance of 3rd-grade students in the month ofMay (August is month 0, September is month 1, etc.).The computer-generated BASI score reports for stu-dents and for adults provide grade-equivalent scoresfor subtests; for hand-scored tests, these scores can belooked up in Appendix C (for Form A) and AppendixG (for Form B). Because it was felt that grade-equiva-lent scores would only be useful at the subtest level,they are not provided for total scores. (An explanationof the procedures used to calculate BASI grade-equiva-lent scores can be found in Appendix C.)

Although grade-equivalent scores are frequently usedand reported in schools, they do have limitations.Like percentile scores, grade-equivalent scores repre-sent ordinal, not interval, level measures; thus, theyare not as well suited as are standard scores for com-paring different BASI scores and for comparingBASI scores with scores from other tests. For theBASI user who wishes to learn more about grade-equivalent scores and their limitations, Nitko (2001)offers a recent comprehensive review.

Age-Equivalent Scores (Hand Scoring andComputer-Generated Student Summary Report)

Age-equivalent scores (point 5 in Figure 3.1) parallelgrade-equivalent scores; they are intended to repre-

sent an examinee’s test performance in terms of theage at which the “average” student’s performancematches that of the examinee. For example, an age-equivalent score of 9-3 indicates that a person’s per-formance is similar to the average (median) perform-ance of children 9 years and 3 months old. Age-equivalent scores share the same psychometric limi-tations as grade-equivalent scores. For hand scoring,age-equivalent scores are given in Appendix D forForm A and Appendix H for Form B. (See AppendixC for an explanation of the procedures used to calcu-late age-equivalent scores.) As with grade-equivalentscores, age-equivalent scores are provided only at thesubtest level.

Achievement Area Scores, Percentage Correct,and Performance Descriptors (Computer-Generated Student Summary Report and AdultSummary Report)

The six subtest scores and the three total scores rep-resent the most reliable means of describing anexaminee’s overall performance on the BASI test.However, as discussed in detail in Chapter 5, eachsubtest includes a number of specific content areasreferred to as achievement areas. The computer-generated BASI Student Summary Report and AdultSummary Report include scores at the level of indi-vidual achievement areas. The purpose of thesescores is to recognize the importance of each testitem and the curriculum/content area it represents inthe assessment process.

Achievement area scores are reported as a percentagecorrect (see point 6 in Figure 3.1), which is simply thenumber of items answered correctly divided by thetotal number of items that measure a given achieve-ment area. Percentage correct scores are also reportedat the overall subtest level in the Student SummaryReport and the Adult Summary Report. Finally, per-centage correct scores are also reported at the totalcomposite score level in the Adult Summary Report.

Accompanying the percentage correct score for eachachievement area or subtest is a three-level perform-ance descriptor: above average, average, or belowaverage (point 7 in Figure 3.1). For the subtestscores in the Student Summary Report, standardscores above 110 receive an “above average” de-scriptor, standard scores of 90 to 110 receive an“average” descriptor, and standard scores below 90

receive a “below average” descriptor. For the subtestand total scores in the Adult Summary Report, thedescriptors are based on comparing the examinee’sperformance to that of the norm group selected bythe user.

The performance descriptors for the individualachievement areas are based on the percentage cor-rect scores. For each achievement area, the exami-nee’s percentage correct is compared to the meanand standard deviation derived from the pooled stan-dardization samples for Forms A and B at the gradelevel that the user specifies when selecting norms.Scores within plus or minus one-third of a standarddeviation of the pooled standardization sample meanreceive the “average” descriptor. Scores that exceedthe standardization mean by more than one-third of astandard deviation are labeled “above average,” andthose falling more than one-third of a standard devia-tion below the mean are labeled “below average.”

Interpreting Results of an UntimedAdministration

When a BASI subtest is administered using the stan-dard time limits shown in Chapter 1, many examineeswill run out of time before attempting all of the items.If an examiner wishes to determine what specific con-tent an individual has and has not mastered withoutregard to the time limits used in the standardization ofthe BASI test, the subtest should be administered withno time limits. When administered untimed, a BASIsubtest can be considered a “pure power test” thatyields criterion-referenced performance information.In this case, only the percentage correct scores for thesubtests and achievement areas should be used. (Notethat results for achievement areas are available onlyfor computer-scored tests.) Because the BASI sub-tests were standardized using timed administration,none of the scores that depend on comparisons to theBASI standardization sample—standard scores, con-fidence intervals, percentile ranks, grade-equivalentscores, and age-equivalent scores—should be inter-preted for an untimed administration. The above aver-age/average/below average performance descriptorsshould also not be interpreted.

Comparisons Involving BASI Scores

The final sections of this chapter discuss how best toperform comparisons involving BASI test scores.

Such comparisons include:

• comparing subtest scores for a single BASI test-ing,

• comparing BASI scores to scores from other tests,

• comparing scores from repeat administrations ofthe same BASI form, and, finally

• comparing Form A and Form B results to measureacademic progress.

Comparing Subtest Scores

Sometimes comparing results between certainBASI subtests can further enhance the interpreta-tion and utility of the test. For example, a user maywish to compare an individual’s performance onthe Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension sub-tests. It is commonly accepted that a well-developedvocabulary is essential for successful reading com-prehension. Poor performance on the Vocabularysubtest might explain poor performance on theReading Comprehension subtest. Such informationmight have both diagnostic and instructional impli-cations.

When a statistically significant difference existsbetween scores on two subtests (e.g., Math Compu-tation and Math Application) that contribute to atotal score (e.g., Math Total), the total score shouldbe interpreted with caution because it masks the un-derlying discrepancy. The tables in Appendix I listthe minimum statistically significant differencesbetween subtest/subtest and subtest/total standardscores.

Comparing BASI Scores to Other Test Scores

In most school settings, there is a plethora of dataregarding students’ academic achievement. Some ofthe data are derived from nationally standardizedtests, some from tests with local norms, and yet oth-ers from state-administered tests. Unfortunately, thelack of a common metric among tests can makethese data difficult if not impossible to interpret anduse appropriately.

The tables in Appendix J show the amount of differ-ence in scores required for statistical significancewhen comparing BASI standard scores with thosefrom two tests with a mean of 100 and a standarddeviation of 15: the Wechsler Individual Achieve-ment Test®–Second Edition (WIAT®-II; Wechsler,

2001) and the Kaufman Test of EducationalAchievement (K-TEA; Kaufman & Kaufman,1998). (As available, additional information can befound on the Pearson Assessments website.)

Comparisons between BASI standard scores andscores from other achievement tests that do not use amean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 can bemade, but they require a few additional steps. Forexample, the user can identify a test score’s equiva-lent percentile score and convert it to a standardscore with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of15 to facilitate a direct comparison. Tables for suchtransformations are available in Sattler (1992).

Comparing Scores From RepeatAdministrations of the Same BASI Form

Sometimes a BASI user may wish to administer thesame form (A or B) to one or more examinees beforeand after a training or instructional intervention inorder to assess the effectiveness of the intervention.In this case, the statistical significance of the differ-ence between two test scores can be determinedusing a method described by Atkinson (1991). Thismethod, described more fully below, should be app-lied only when minimal practice effects are expected(the test-retest interval should be longer than sixweeks).

The determination of whether a BASI subtest ortotal score has increased (or decreased) by a statisti-cally significant amount from a first to secondadministration of the same form is accomplished intwo steps. First, the initial subtest or total compositestandard score is identified. Next, the standard scorefrom the second administration is compared to theappropriate range of values found in Appendix K.These score ranges reflect the variability expecteddue to test-retest unreliability and regression to themean. If the second BASI score falls outside of therange of scores given in Appendix K, the differencebetween the two standard scores is considered statis-tically significant. For example (see Figure 3.2), anexaminee who received an initial BASI Vocabularyscore of 90 would have to obtain a second BASIVocabulary score of at least 104 to show significantimprovement.

Comparing Form A and Form B Results toMeasure Academic Progress

Two forms were developed for each BASI Compre-hensive subtest to allow evaluation of progress overthe course of a school year. Form A of each subtestwas normed in the fall (August–December), andForm B was normed in the spring (January– July).

Comparisons between Form A and Form B resultsare best made using the standard scores for subtestsand total composites because of the high reliabilityof those scores. A standard score that stays the sameor changes little from Form A to Form B indicates“normal” growth in that the examinee has retainedroughly the same relative position among all individ-uals in the BASI normative sample. Large standardscore increases (15 or more points) reflect “above-normal” growth, and large standard score decreases(15 or more points) reflect “below-normal” growth.

Comparisons can also be made at the level of per-centage correct scores for individual achievementareas. The strength of comparisons at this level isthat they allow a more fine-grained analysis ofprogress in specific content areas. The limitation isthat the achievement area scores are in some casesbased on relatively few test items and thus are sub-ject to higher levels of measurement error than arethe subtest and total scores.

Of course, scores can be compared between Forms Aand B for both individuals and groups (e.g., class-rooms). BASI users who use computer scoring canexport BASI data to other software programs tofacilitate group-level analyses.

In summary, the BASI Comprehensive test offers avariety of scores to describe an individual test taker’sperformance. These scores can be cumulated for anentire classroom, school, or other group to describethe performance of that group. This information canbe used to complement other data regarding academ-ic skills and to reach better data-based decisions.

Test Development andStandardization

This chapter presents a general description of the methods used to develop theBASI Comprehensive test and describes its standardization in detail. Becausethe BASI test is norm-referenced, a sound standardization plan and sample arecritical to establishing the basis for its psychometric properties. The chapter isorganized in the following three sections: test development and item selection,national standardization, and derivation of standardized scores.

Test Development and Item Selection

Development of the BASI test began in the spring of 2001 with the initialcreation of a test blueprint. This was followed by item writing and pilot test-ing of items with national samples in the fall of 2001 and the spring of 2002.Finally, the standardization of the BASI test took place in the fall of 2002 forForm A and in the spring of 2003 for Form B. Validity and reliability studieswere also conducted during the period when the test was being standardized.A detailed description of the BASI test blueprint, item writing and item selec-tion process, and validity and reliability results is presented in Chapter 5.

National Standardization

The BASI test was standardized using a stratified random sampling plan sothat the sample would closely match the U.S. population according to the 2000census (www.census.gov). The entire BASI Comprehensive series consists ofeight sets of tests: two forms (Form A with fall norms, Form B with springnorms) at each of four levels defined by grade (3–4, 5–6, 7–8, 9–12). Each ofthe eight sets of tests was standardized using a grade-appropriate sample strati-fied according to four demographic variables: (1) gender, (2) race/ethnicity(White, African American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian American, AmericanIndian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, and Other), (3)parental education (less than 12th grade, high school graduate or GED, 1–3years of college or technical school, and 4 or more years of college), and (4)geographic region (Northeast, South, Midwest, and West). Information aboutparental education was reported separately for the mother and father. If theirlevels of education were not the same, the higher level was used.

Site Solicitation

To obtain student samples, sites were selected from a national pool of schoolsidentified by Pearson Assessments. (A list of all the sites that participated canbe found in the BASI Project Participants section in the beginning of thismanual.) Letters were sent to schools throughout the country inviting them toparticipate in the standardization of the BASI test. Educational consultantsfrom Pearson Digital Learning also assisted with the recruitment of schools.

Page 46: (Basic Achievement Skills Inventory) Comprehensive Test · Basic Achievement Skills Inventory viii Table A.15 Raw Scores to Standard Scores, Percentile Ranks, and Confidence Intervals

Basic Achievement Skills Inventory

18

School principals across the various regions of thecountry were asked to describe the demographicsof their student population and their community.Schools were invited to participate if they approxi-mated the census-based criteria.

Test Administration

Before data collection began, written permission tosolicit participants was obtained from each school.The principal from each participating school drafteda letter that was distributed to parents encouragingthe participation of their children. Parents or guard-ians were given the opportunity to decide whethertheir children would participate. Demographic infor-mation was provided for each student, in some casesby the parent on a parental consent form and in othercases by the student him- or herself with assistancefrom the teacher.

Teachers at each participating school administeredthe test to their classrooms and returned completedtest packets to Pearson Assessments according towritten procedures. Teachers administered the tests

in one or two sessions and completed all testingwithin two weeks of the first testing session.Teachers and/or principals reviewed the studentpackets for completeness and returned them toPearson Assessments for processing.

Quality Control

Once the BASI forms were returned to PearsonAssessments, they were subjected to a thoroughvisual inspection by trained staff prior to data pro-cessing. Data analyses and norms development weresubjected to a series of quality assurance proceduresusing members of the Pearson Assessments testdevelopment team and external consultants.

Demographics of the Standardization Samples

A total of 2,439 students in grades 3 through 12 par-ticipated in the standardization of Form A during thefall of 2002, and another 2,130 students participatedin the standardization of Form B during the spring of2003. Table 4.1 shows the breakdown of the Form Aand Form B standardization samples by grade.

As mentioned earlier, the standardization sampleswere constructed to match the 2000 U.S. census asclosely as possible on four demographic variables:gender, race/ethnicity, parental education, and geo-graphic region. Table 4.2 shows the breakdowns ofthe total (grades 3 through 12) Form A and Form Bstandardization samples across these demographicvariables and how those breakdowns compare to thecensus values. The data in Table 4.2 show that thegoal of matching the 2000 U.S. population waslargely achieved. Nearly all of the subgroup percent-ages for the two BASI standardization samples arewithin 5% of the population figures, and most arewithin 2%. The greatest deviation from the U.S.population subgroup percentages is for geographicregion (the South was somewhat underrepresentedrelative to the U.S. population, and the West wassomewhat overrepresented). However, there is littleevidence that geographic region systematicallyaffects performance on tests of academic achieve-ment such as the BASI test.

Figure 4.1 shows the locations of the sites that par-ticipated in the standardization of BASI Forms Aand B.

Although the demographics of the overall standardi-zation samples for Forms A and B approximate thoseof the U.S. population, individual subject weightingwas applied in the final norming of the test to ensurethat the norm group demographic makeup at each ofthe four grade-based test levels was exactly propor-tionate to the U.S. population. Each individual exam-inee was assigned a weight for each of the four strat-ification variables according to his or her subgroupmembership on that variable. The weights were com-puted by dividing the percentage for the individual’ssubgroup in the U.S. population by the percentagefor that subgroup in the BASI standardization sam-ple. Each standardization sample member contri-buted to the final sample proportionally to the prod-uct of the weights for that individual across the fourstratification variables.

FIGURE 4.1 Locations of Schools That Participated in the National Standardization of BASI Forms A and B

Tables 4.3 to 4.10 present, for each of the eightBASI level-by-form combinations, the actual subjectcounts and percentages for each subgroup (gender,race/ethnicity, parental education, and geographicregion), together with the subject weights used foreach of those subgroups. The data shown in the firsttwo rows of the “Parental Education” section ofTable 4.3 are used here to illustrate the calculation ofsubject weights. In the Level 1 (Form A) standardi-zation sample, 79 of the 620 subjects, or 12.7%, hada parental education level of “less than 12th grade.”Because this would somewhat underrepresent the

14.8% of the U.S. population with this parental edu-cation level according to the 2000 census, the BASIscores for each of these subjects were weighted by afactor greater than 1.0 (14.8/12.7=1.16) in order tohave their scores make up the exact census-matchedproportion of this sample. Conversely, because sub-jects whose parental education level was “highschool graduate/GED” were somewhat overrepre-sented (at 34.4% versus 32.5% in the U.S. popula-tion), scores for each of those subjects were weight-ed by a factor less than 1.0 (32.5/34.4 = 0.95).

Derivation of Standardized Scores

Each BASI subtest is normed at the individual gradelevel. Thus, the Level 1 subtests have separate normsfor grades 3 and 4, the Level 2 subtests have separatenorms for grades 5 and 6, the Level 3 subtests haveseparate norms for grades 7 and 8, and the Level 4subtests have separate norms for grades 9, 10, 11,and 12.

Following the construction of the census-matchedsample for each form at each test level as describedabove, the raw score means, standard deviations, andfrequency distribution statistics for each subtest wereexamined across all grades. The cumulative frequen-cy distribution of each subtest was obtained and thennormalized. Raw scores were converted to standardscores so that each grade-level norm group had amean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Theprogression of standard scores within and betweengrades was examined and some smoothing was ap-plied to correct for minor irregularities in the pro-gression of scores. The tables for converting rawscores to standard scores for the six BASI subtestscan be found in Appendix A for Form A and inAppendix E for Form B.

The six subtests are further organized into threebroad composite areas—Reading Total (Vocabularyand Reading Comprehension), Written LanguageTotal (Spelling and Language Mechanics), and MathTotal (Math Computation and Math Application)—for which total scores are reported. Means, standarddeviations, and frequency distributions were calculat-ed for the sum of the two subtest standard scores con-tributing to each total score. Next, the sum of the sub-test standard scores for each of the three compositeareas was normalized and converted to a standardscore with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of15 as described above for the subtest scores. Tablesfor determining total standard scores from the sumof subtest standard scores can be found in AppendixB for Form A and in Appendix F for Form B.

Other standardized scores—in addition to the stan-dard scores with a mean of 100 and a standard devia-tion of 15—that can be determined include 95% con-fidence intervals for the standard scores, percentileranks, grade-equivalent scores, and age-equivalentscores. The score transformations for the grade-

equivalent and age-equivalent scores were deter-mined using an “anchor test” design (Petersen,Kolen, & Hoover, 1989). The anchor test used wasthe BASI Survey. Groups of students at each gradelevel (3 through 12) completed the Comprehensiveand the Survey versions of the BASI test; the deter-mination of the grade-equivalent and age-equivalentscores was based on these data. (For more informa-tion about calculating grade- and age-equivalentscores, see Appendix C.) Guidelines for interpretingall of the various BASI test scores are presented inChapter 3.

Reliability

The reliability of a test refers to the consistency or stability of scores acrossitems within a test, across different forms of the test, or across repeat admin-istrations of the test. The reliability of the BASI test was determined using anumber of methods. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were calculated to esti-mate the test’s internal consistency reliability and to determine standard errorsof measurement. The stability of scores over time was examined with a test-retest study. Finally, a study was conducted to investigate the alternate-formsreliability of the BASI test.

Internal Consistency

Tables 5.1 and 5.2 present, for BASI Forms A and B respectively, the internalconsistency reliability coefficients at each grade level for the six subtests andthe three total scores. These Cronbach’s alpha values were calculated usingdata from the Form A and Form B standardization samples described inChapter 4. The coefficients are high (.80 or greater) for the majority of thesubtests across the two forms of the test and very high (most at or above .90)for the three total scores. The subtest reliability coefficients are somewhatlower than those for the total scores because the subtests have fewer items.These internal consistency reliability coefficients were used for the calcula-tion of confidence intervals for standard scores, as described in Chapter 3.

TABLE 5.2 Cronbach’s Alpha Internal Consistency Reliability Coefficients for BASI Form B

Standard Error of Measurement

The standard error of measurement (SEM) for eachBASI subtest and total score at each grade level wasobtained from the corresponding internal consistencyreliability coefficient using the following formula:

SEM = SDx 1–rxx

where SDx is the obtained standard deviation of thesubtest or total composite standard score at thatgrade level and rxx is the appropriate internal con-sistency reliability coefficient from Table 5.1 or

Table 5.2. The resulting values are shown in Tables5.3 and 5.4. The formula above produces SEM val-ues for the subtests and total scores that are on thesame scale as the standard scores, with a mean of100 and a standard deviation of 15. The SEM val-ues reported in Tables 5.3 and 5.4 vary accordingto the reliability coefficients on which they arebased. Because reliability and standard error ofmeasurement are inversely related (i.e., as reliabili-ty increases, SEM decreases), the SEM values forthe total scores are somewhat lower than those forthe subtest scores.

Tables 5.6, 5.7, and 5.8 display, for the Level 1,Level 2, and Level 3 samples, the means and stan-dard deviations for the two administrations of thetest, the gain scores, and the test-retest reliabilitycoefficients (which are the correlations betweenscores on the two administrations of the test). Thetrend toward small gains in mean scores was ex-

pected due to practice effects. At all three test lev-els, all test-retest stability coefficients were statisti-cally significant (p < .001). Of the 27 total test-retest coefficients, 24 were .70 or greater, and 20were .80 or greater. These high overall reliabilityvalues serve as an indication of the stability ofBASI scores over time.

male and 38 (43.2%) female students (the gender ofthe other 5 students was not identified). Finally, thealternate-forms reliability for Level 3 was examinedin a sample of 78 students, 38 (48.7%) seventh grad-ers and 40 (51.3%) eighth graders. There were 39(50.0%) male and 36 (46.2%) female students (gen-der was not identified for 3 students). Six studentswere identified as receiving special education servic-es, and one was identified as gifted.

In each of the three samples, the students’ standardscores for subtests and total composites were corre-lated between Form A and Form B to yield the alter-nate-forms reliability coefficients. These coefficientsare shown in Table 5.9. All coefficients were statisti-cally significant at p < .001, with values ranging be-tween .57 and .87. These values demonstrate a highlevel of reliability between BASI Forms A and B.

Alternate-Forms Reliability

The alternate-forms reliability of the BASI Level 1,Level 2, and Level 3 tests was established by exam-ining the performance of samples of students whotook both Form A and Form B during the sameweek. In all cases, Form A was administered first,followed by Form B. This was necessary due topractical and logistical considerations at the sitesthat agreed to participate.

The Level 1 sample consisted of 94 students, 44(46.8%) third graders and 50 (53.2%) fourth graders.There were 39 (41.5%) male and 52 (55.3%) femalestudents (gender was not identified for the remaining3 students). Ten students were identified as receivingspecial education services. The sample for Level 2consisted of 88 students, 48 (54.5%) fifth graders and40 (45.5%) sixth graders. There were 45 (51.1%)

Validity

“Validity refers to the degree to which evidence andtheory . . . provide a sound scientific basis for theproposed score interpretations” (American Educa-tional Research Association et al., 1999, p. 9). Thevalidity of a test therefore refers to the quality ofinferences that can be made from the test score(s)and the evidence that is presented to support theseinferences. In this respect, test validation is a contin-uous process of data gathering for various usesacross settings, individuals, and situations.

The BASI Comprehensive test was designed to eval-uate the test taker’s achievement across three broadacademic areas—reading, written language, andmath—using a variety of grade-appropriate academictasks in the subject areas of vocabulary, spelling, lan-guage mechanics, reading comprehension, mathcomputation, and math application. The validity evi-dence for the BASI test as a comprehensive achieve-ment test includes evidence of its content validity,relationships to other group-administered achieve-ment tests, relationships to individually administeredtests, performance of students with learning impair-ments, and performance of bilingual students.

Content Validity

Content validity refers to the degree to which thetest items represent the achievement domains orcontent areas that the test is designed to measure.This section describes the specification of the con-tent domains for the BASI subtests and the proce-dures that were followed to ensure that these do-mains were validly represented in the final test.

Test Content Specification

The content of each BASI subtest was determinedusing a test blueprint (called the “test specificationmatrix”) that was developed and further refined inconsultation with content experts using the ModelCurriculum and Assessment Database (MCAD).The MCAD, a proprietary database of NCS PearsonCalifornia, is an amalgamation of local, state, andnational educational standards from U.S. schools.Content area standards (called “achievement areas”)were selected for each BASI subtest across grades3 through 12. Tables 5.10 through 5.15 present thetest specification matrices that guided the develop-ment of the BASI Comprehensive test across thefour test levels.

Item Development

The first step in developing the BASI item pool wasto set a target number of final test items for eachachievement area shown in Tables 5.10 through 5.15.Then multiple candidate items were written for eachfinal item that was to appear on one of the subtests.For example, for every one item that was to be usedon the final form of a Spelling subtest, two or threeitems were written and pilot tested. In addition,when standards overlapped between test levels,approximately 20% of the items were shared be-tween levels. For example, in the Math Computationsubtest, a few arithmetic operations items wereshared between Levels 1 and 2 (resulting in a diffi-cult item for Level 1 and an easy item for Level 2).

A total of 2,665 items were written and pilot testedfor potential inclusion in the BASI test. Table 5.16shows the total number of items written and pilotedfor each of the six subtests across all four test levels.

The item writers were teachers in the subject matterareas covered by the BASI test. They received exten-

sive item-writing training from NCS PearsonCalifornia and had participated in other academicachievement test development projects. Each itemwriter was assigned to a team that was coordinatedby a Pearson Education professional with extensivebackground in the respective content area. Before anitem was submitted for consideration for the test itempool, the Pearson content expert reviewed the item,provided any necessary feedback to the item writer,and reviewed any revisions to the item. Then a teamof four to five Pearson Education professionals withcontent expertise reviewed each item before it wassubmitted as a potential item for the BASI test.

All submitted items were further reviewed by theauthor and the Pearson Assessments BASI test devel-opment team. Furthermore, a team of teachers at var-ious grade levels and with appropriate content areaexpertise served as consultants and reviewed the testitems and the content coverage of the BASI achieve-ment areas and test booklets. At each review cycle,all items were checked for possible race, gender, andregional bias.

Pilot Study and Item Selection

The purpose of the pilot study was to collect data ona large group of potential BASI test items from anational sample of students in grades 3 through 12.Although the final BASI Comprehensive test consistsof subtests at four grade-specific levels, during thepilot study students were grouped into only threelevels: grades 3–4, 5–8, and 9–12. After all initialitem reviews were completed, the candidate testitems for grades 3–4, 5–8, and 9–12 were distributedacross six test forms for each grade range. Each testform included three of the six subtests.

The main pilot study was conducted in the fall of2001 using a convenience sample consisting ofschools and individuals recruited from across thecountry. The 18 test forms (6 forms at each of 3grade-specific levels) were administered to a total of1,874 students in grades 3 through 12 with no timelimits so that individual item statistics for all itemswithin each subtest could be calculated. A studentwas excluded from data analyses if his or her parentsreported on the parental consent form that he or shehad a learning disability or other diagnosis and/orused prescribed medication that could influence testperformance. Students receiving services underEnglish as a Second Language (ESL) programs andstudents who engaged in obvious response patterns(e.g., chose A as the response to every item) werealso excluded from the analyses.

Traditional item analysis statistics were calculated,and each item was reviewed for its psychometricproperties. On the basis of this review it was deter-mined that there were enough items with sound psy-chometric properties in each content area fromwhich to select items for the final standardizationversion of the test. It was also decided that separatetest levels would be used for grades 5–6 and grades7–8 in the final BASI test, a decision that wasencouraged and supported by external consultantswho taught grades 5–8. Finally, an additional smallerpilot study was conducted in the spring of 2002 with450 students in grades 9–12, all of whom were testedsolely on reading comprehension items. Some ofthese items were carried over from the first pilotstudy and some were created in response to theresults of the study.

Following the pilot testing, the final version of theBASI test was developed. Two forms, A and B, weredeveloped at each of four levels: Level 1 for grades3–4, Level 2 for grades 5–6, Level 3 for grades 7–8,and Level 4 for grades 9–12. To create Forms A and B,items were matched on difficulty and discriminationwithin each achievement area, and pairs of items withsimilar values were assigned to different test forms.Form A was standardized in the fall of 2002 and FormB in the spring of 2003, as described in Chapter 4.Table 5.17 lists the final number of items for each sub-test for each of the eight level-by-form combinationsthat make up the BASI Comprehensive test.

Construct Validity

Current conceptions of construct validity emphasizethe breadth of evidence that should be consideredwhen evaluating how well a test measures the con-structs it was designed to measure. For the BASIComprehensive test, data concerning intercorrela-tions of test scores, relationships with scores onother tests of academic achievement, and perform-ance of special populations is presented to supportconstruct validity.

Intercorrelations of BASI Scores

The intercorrelations among the six BASI subtestsand three total scores are shown separately for

Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 in Tables 5.18 through 5.21.Each table includes the values for Form A and forForm B, based on data from the standardization sam-ples for the two forms at that test level. The values inthese tables show that the two math subtests (MathComputation and Math Application) tend to correlatemore highly with each other than with any of theverbal subtests (Vocabulary, Spelling, LanguageMechanics, Reading Comprehension) and that mostof the intercorrelations among the verbal subtests are.60 or greater. Thus, the subtest intercorrelations fitthe expected pattern of significant positive relation-ships among all achievement areas, with a tendencyfor measures to correlate particularly highly withinthe broad areas of verbal skills and math skills.

Relationships With Group-AdministeredAchievement Tests

The BASI and the Iowa Achievement Tests (ITBS® and ITED®)

This study examined the relationships between theBASI Form A tests at Levels 1, 2, and 3 and theIowa Tests of Basic Skills® (ITBS) and betweenBASI Level 4 (Form A) and the Iowa Tests ofEducational Development® (ITED). The samplesconsisted of a total of 285 students attending grades3 through 10. Table 5.22 presents the demographicsof the students who took BASI Levels 1, 2, and 3(i.e., the third through eighth graders in the sample).The BASI Level 4 sample consisted of 1 ninth graderand 100 tenth graders, of whom 44 (43.6%) weremales and 57 (56.4%) were females, with 8 receivingspecial education services and 3 identified as gifted.Data on race/ethnicity and parental education were

missing for too many of these students to allowmeaningful breakdowns.

The BASI test was administered by school personnelas part of the standardization data collection process.The data for the Iowa tests were provided by theschools for the purpose of this study. All studentstook the two tests within a six-week period.

The means shown in Table 5.23 indicate that thestudents who took BASI Levels 1 through 3 scoredabove average on all BASI measures. Those whotook BASI Level 4 received mostly below averagemean scores, as shown in Table 5.24. The correla-tions between the BASI subtest and total scores andthe Iowa subtest and total scores are shown forBASI Levels 1 through 4 in Tables 5.25 through5.28. Statistically significant correlations were ob-served between subtests and total scores measuringsimilar constructs.

BASI Level 4 (Form A) and the Tests of Adult BasicEducation (TABE®)

In this study, BASI Level 4 (Form A) was adminis-tered to 40 high school students in grades 9 (n = 14;35%), 10 (n = 8; 20%), 11 (n = 10; 25%), and 12(n = 8; 20%). Three students were identified as re-ceiving special education services, and one was iden-tified as gifted. There were 22 (55%) male and 18(45%) female students. The group consisted of 17(42.5%) whites, 1 (2.5%) African American, 3 (7.5%)American Indians, 3 (7.5%) “other,” and 16 (40.0%)Hispanics. The parents of these individuals reportedtheir own educational background as follows: 2 (5.0%)less than 12th grade, 18 (45.0%) high school graduateor GED, 13 (32.5%) 1–3 years of college, 4 (10.0%)4 or more years of college. Parental education wasnot reported for the remaining 3 (7.5%) students.

These students completed the TABE 7/8 CompleteBattery and BASI Level 4 (Form A) within a periodof six weeks. TABE scores were made available bythe school district for the purpose of this study. Table5.29 shows the sample’s BASI and TABE subtestand total scores. The sample performed in the lowerend of the average range across the majority of theBASI subtests, scoring lowest on Reading Com-prehension and Math Computation.

Table 5.30 provides correlations between the BASIsubtest and total scores and those for the TABE.Despite the somewhat restricted range of many ofthe BASI scores (as indicated by standard deviationsless than 15), many statistically significant correla-tions of moderate magnitude were obtained betweenthe two instruments.

BASI Level 4 (Form B) and the TABE

The relationship between Level 4 (Form B) of theBASI test and the TABE 7/8 Complete Battery wasexamined in a study with 161 high school students ingrade 9 (n = 31; 19.3%), grade 10 (n = 43; 26.7%),grade 11 (n = 49; 30.4%), and grade 12 (n = 38;23.6%). Thirty-three students were receiving specialeducation services, and three were identified as gift-ed. There were 94 (58.4%) males and 67 (41.6%)females in the sample. The majority of the studentswere white (90 or 55.9%), and the remaining were asfollows: 5 (3.1%) African American, 4 (2.5%)American Indian, 2 (1.2%) Asian American, 7(4.3%) “other,” and 53 (32.9%) Hispanic/Latino. The

parental education of these individuals was as fol-lows: 16 (9.9%) less than 12th grade, 69 (42.9%)high school graduate or GED, 50 (31.1%) 1–3 yearsof college, and 26 (16.1%) 4 or more years of col-lege.

As in the study described previously, these studentscompleted the BASI and TABE tests within a period ofsix weeks, and the school district provided TABEscores for the purpose of this study. Table 5.31 showsthe sample’s performance on the BASI test and theTABE. Overall, the sample earned BASI scores in theaverage range. Table 5.32 shows that statistically sig-nificant correlations were again obtained between theBASI and TABE subtest and total scores.

Relationships Between the BASI Comprehensive andSurvey Versions

As part of the standardization of the BASI Compre-hensive version and the BASI Survey version, bothtests were administered to groups of students ingrades 3 through 12 in various locations across thecountry. This allowed an analysis of the relationshipsbetween the Comprehensive and Survey versions ofthe test. The demographic characteristics of the 1,500students who took Comprehensive Form A and theBASI Survey during the fall of 2002 are shown inTable 5.33. Demographics for the 1,519 studentswho took Comprehensive Form B and the Surveyversion during the spring of 2003 are shown in Table5.34. Tables 5.35 and 5.36 show, for the Form A andForm B samples respectively, the BASI test meansand standard deviations (the Vocabulary, LanguageMechanics, Reading Comprehension, Math Compu-tation, and Math Application scores for the BASISurvey are standard scores with a mean of 10 and a

standard deviation of 3). Mean Total Verbal scoreson the Survey were similar to mean Reading Totaland Written Language Total scores on the Compre-hensive test, and mean Total Math scores were simi-lar across the two versions.

Both the Comprehensive and the Survey versions ofthe BASI test yield scores for Vocabulary, LanguageMechanics, Reading Comprehension, Math Com-putation, and Math Application. Table 5.37 showshow each of these scores correlated between the twoversions of the BASI test, with values provided foreach of the eight student samples defined by theComprehensive test level and form taken. All corre-lations obtained between the same skill areas meas-ured by the two versions of the test were highly sta-tistically significant (p < .001), providing support forthe concurrent validity of both test versions. Overall,the results of this study suggest that the BASI Sur-vey can be used with confidence when a quick esti-mate of verbal and math skills is needed.

Relationships With Individually AdministeredAchievement Tests

The BASI and the Wechsler Individual AchievementTest®–Second Edition (WIAT®-II)

One of the goals of the BASI Comprehensive test isto complement individually administered achieve-ment tests in psychoeducational evaluations. The pur-pose of this study was to examine the relationshipsbetween scores on the BASI test and the WIAT-II.The WIAT-II is a widely used individually adminis-

tered comprehensive test that is often used to diag-nose academic difficulties and assist with the deter-mination of possible placement in special education.

The samples consisted of 41 students in grades 3through 8 who completed BASI Form A and theWIAT-II and another 30 third through eighth graderswho completed BASI Form B and the WIAT-II. TheWIAT-II was administered along with the BASI test bytrained examiners in a counterbalanced order. Table5.38 shows the demographics of the two samples.

Page 74: (Basic Achievement Skills Inventory) Comprehensive Test · Basic Achievement Skills Inventory viii Table A.15 Raw Scores to Standard Scores, Percentile Ranks, and Confidence Intervals

The means and standard deviations in Table 5.39show that the two samples performed comparably onthe BASI test forms and the WIAT-II, with meanscores in the high-average to above-average range.Statistically significant correlations were obtainedbetween the subtest scores and total scores of the

two tests that measure similar achievement areas, asshown in Tables 5.40 and 5.41. These data supportthe use of the BASI test as a measure of academicachievement that yields results similar to those fromthe WIAT-II.

The sample consisted of 6 (15%) third graders, 8(20%) fourth graders, 6 (15%) fifth graders, 6 (15%)sixth graders, 8 (20%) seventh graders, and 6 (15%)eighth graders. There were 17 (42.5%) males and 23(57.5%) females. Most of the students were white

(34; 85.0%), with 2 (5.0%) African Americans, 2(5.0%) Asian Americans, 1 (2.5%) Hispanic, and 1(2.5%) for whom race was not reported. The highestlevel of parental education was 1–3 years of collegefor 9 (22.5%) and 4 or more years of college for 30(75.0%), with parental education not reported for 1subject (2.5%).

Means and standard deviations on the BASI andWJ III measures are shown in Table 5.42. Overall,the mean scores were quite similar across the twotests. Table 5.43 shows that there were many statisti-cally significant correlations between BASI and WJIII scores. These results provide further evidencethat the BASI test can be used to complement indi-vidually administered achievement tests.

Performance of Special Education Groups

The consent form completed by parents prior to datacollection for the fall 2002 standardization of BASIForm A included the following question: “Does yourchild receive any special services or extra help inschool or has he/she been diagnosed with any of thefollowing?” Parents who answered yes to this ques-tion were asked to choose all that applied fromamong 12 categories of possible services or diag-noses that included “gifted,” 10 specific kinds ofimpairments, and “other.” The accuracy of parentalreports of services and diagnoses was not verifiedwith school records.

Seven of the categories reflecting specific impair-ments, plus the “other” category, were identified asapplicable for 20 or more students. Table 5.44 pro-

vides the gender, grade level, and parental educationbreakdowns for each of these eight groups.

BASI Form A means and standard deviations foreach of these eight groups are shown in Table 5.45.All of the mean scores in this table are less than100, meaning that each of the eight services/diag-noses groups scored below average on every BASIsubtest and total score. The groups identified as hav-ing a learning disability in reading, writing, andmath received the lowest overall mean scores,whereas the mean scores for the attention deficitdisorder, hearing impaired, and “other impairment”groups were all between 93.5 and 98.7. Overall,these results suggest that the BASI test can be usedeffectively to identify students with learning diffi-culties as part of a screening process or during acomprehensive psychoeducational evaluation.

Performance of Bilingual Students

The parental consent form that was used in the stan-dardization of BASI Form A asked if the child spokeanother language in addition to English. A total of402 students (194 [48.3%] males and 208 [51.7%]females) in grades 3 through 12 were reportedlybilingual. For these 402 students, BASI Level 1 wasadministered to 130 (32.3%), Level 2 to 95 (23.6%),Level 3 to 71 (17.7%), and Level 4 to 106 (26.4%).Three students were identified as receiving specialeducation services, and nine were identified as gift-ed. The majority of the students (246; 61.2%) wereHispanic/Latino, 83 (20.6%) were white, 9 (2.2%)were African American, 5 (1.2%) were American

Indian, 44 (10.9%) were Asian American, 2 (0.5%)were Pacific Islanders, 8 (2.0%) were “other,” and 5(1.2%) were missing data on race/ethnicity. The par-ents of these students reported their own educationalbackground as follows: 97 (24.1%) less than 12thgrade, 80 (19.9%) high school graduate or GED, 108(26.9%) 1–3 years of college, 102 (25.4%) 4 or moreyears of college, and 15 (3.7%) did not report theirlevel of education.

Table 5.46 presents the means and standard devia-tions of the sample’s performance on Form A of theBASI test. Overall, the sample earned scores in theaverage range, suggesting that the BASI test is suit-able for bilingual students.

Summary of BASI PsychometricProperties

This chapter presented evidence regarding the relia-bility and validity of the BASI Comprehensive test.Reliability was established using estimates of inter-nal consistency, test-retest reliability, and alternate-forms reliability. This evidence indicates that BASItest users can have confidence that the scores arehighly reliable within subtests and total composites,over time, and across forms.

In addition, the chapter offered evidence for thevalidity of the BASI Comprehensive test as a meas-ure of academic achievement. Validity was definedas the quality of inferences that can be made fromthe BASI scores. Validity evidence was establishedwith several methods. The section on content validitydescribed the specification of the content domainsfor the BASI subtests and the procedures that werefollowed to ensure the valid representation of thesedomains in the final test. Empirical studies of therelationships between the BASI Comprehensive testand other group and individually administered testsshowed that the BASI test generally yields similaroverall scores for students attending regular educationclasses. Additional studies detailed the performanceof students with various impairments and of bilingualstudents. The findings from all of these studies pro-vide evidence that supports the validity of the BASItest as a measure of academic achievement.

For example, a twelfth grader who gets a raw score of 22 on the Reading Comprehension subtest(Form B, Level 4, Grade 12 norms) will receive a standard score of 100 (average range) according to Table E.29.However, that same raw score of 22 will generate a grade-equivalent score of 10.7 (from Table G.8) and an age-equiv-alent score of 15-9 (from Table H.8). Both of these scores seem below average because an average score (a standardscore of 100) for a twelfth grader would be expected to generate a 12.0 grade-equivalent score (approximately) anda 17-0 to 18-0 age-equivalent score. In other words, the standard scores and grade- and age-equivalent scores don’tseem to match. The information that follows will explain these seeming inconsistencies.

The grade- and age-equivalent score calculations were based on an anchor test design. That is, a sample of studentsfrom grades 3 through 12 took the Survey Verbal Skills and Math Skills tests (the anchor tests) in addition to theComprehensive test (third and fourth graders took Level 1, fifth and sixth graders took Level 2, seventh and eighthgraders took Level 3, and ninth through twelfth graders took Level 4). Performance by students at a specific grade orage level on the anchor tests established the grade- and age-equivalent scores for each score value of the SurveyVerbal Skills and Math Skills anchor tests. The Survey anchor test scores were then used to predict or estimate thegrade- and age-equivalent scores for each score value of the Comprehensive subtests.

This can be illustrated using an individual example and logical inference (the actual calculations were based on largenumbers of comparable students and multiple regression analysis). For example, suppose an eight-year-old thirdgrade student achieved a raw score of 28 (a standard score of 117) on the Vocabulary test (Form A, Level 1) and araw score of 25 on the BASI Survey Verbal Skills test. Fifth grade students (average age = 10) also attained a medi-an raw score of 25 on the Survey Verbal Skills test. Consequently, based on the relation of the BASI Vocabulary(Form A, Level 1) score of 28 with the Survey Verbal Skills score of 25, and the relation of the Survey Verbal Skillsscore of 25 with the median performance of fifth graders, it is reasonable to infer that a Vocabulary raw score of 28represents fifth grade (10-year-old) Vocabulary performance. Such speculations were confirmed using a variety ofmathematical criteria.

There were occasions in Level 4 when, contrary to expectations, students in upper grades did not perform better thanstudents in lower grades. For example, for BASI Vocabulary (Form A, Level 4), the median raw score was 23 forninth graders, 24 for tenth graders, 25 for eleventh graders, and 24 for twelfth graders. Based on the linear increaseof scores (23-24-25) across grades 9 through 11, twelfth graders might have been expected to attain a Vocabularyscore of 26 rather than 24. The drop in twelfth grade performance might have been due to a variety of factors, includ-ing “senior slump” or test fatigue.

In this case, the Vocabulary “standard score = 100 value” was based on the empirical score of 24 for both tenth andtwelfth grade students. The Vocabulary raw score value of 24 was assigned a grade-equivalent score of 10.2 and anage-equivalent score of 15-4 because the median tenth grader did in fact attain that score. The converse of this wasthat the twelfth grade “standard score = 100 value” was associated with a grade equivalent of tenth grade. Althoughthat might appear to be an error, that was the empirical outcome. Based on the linear increase in performance acrossgrades, it was assumed that a raw score of 26 was an appropriate score to use to indicate how the average twelfthgrade student should have performed, and that is reflected in the grade- and age-equivalent tables for Form A Level4. Similar adjustments were made for other Level 4 tables.

Minimum Statistically Significant DifferencesBetween Subtest/Subtest and Subtest/

Total Standard Scores for Forms A and B

The numbers in these tables represent the minimum statistically significant differ-ence between two scores. For example, in Table I.1, the minimum statisticallysignificant difference between Spelling and Vocabulary is 12. If the differencebetween an examinee’s scores on these two subtests is equal to or greater than12, the difference is considered statistically significant.

Appendix K

Expected Variability in Scores From RepeatAdministrations of the Same BASI Form

Use this appendix to compare scores from repeat administrations of the sameBASI form (A or B). The score ranges in these tables reflect the variability ex-pected due to test-retest unreliability and regression to the mean. Choose theappropriate table for the examinee (Form A or B and appropriate grade-levelnorms). In the left column, find his or her standard score for the first administra-tion. Then read across to find the range of scores for the subtest or total scoreof interest. If the examinee’s score for the second administration falls withinthat range, the difference between the test-retest scores is not statisticallysignificant. If the second score falls outside the range, the difference is statisti-cally significant. For more information, see “Comparing Scores From RepeatAdministrations of the Same BASI Form” in Chapter 3.
