How to calculate standard scores for the
Symbol Digit Modalities Test
SDMT was first published in 1973 Author: Aaron Smith
Published by: Western Psychological Services
California USA
Background Information
The SDMT manual does not provide Standard Scores, so for assessments in the UK, where Standard
Scores are the most common method for reporting information from educational assessments, a
standard score must be calculated.
WPS, copyright holders and publishers of the SDMT (www.wpspublish.com) recommend that
practitioners use a formula recognised by statisticians in their field. The formula used in this
document is a standard formula widely used by educational statisticians. Practitioners working in
other fields should check the validity of the formula for their own area of work. We have contacted
WPS to inform them of this adaptation of the scoring.
The standardised scores in this document are calculated using means and standard deviations taken
from pages 5 and 6 of the SDMT manual. Because of the limited sample size upon which these historic figures were based, a very few of the
standardised scores look anomalous compared with their neighbouring scores.
Assessors using SDMT in assessments for the Disabled Student's Allowance should refer to the
document 'Updated Guidance on the use of the Symbol Digit Modalities Test' produced by STEC
(the SpLD Test Evalation Committee) for further guidance.
Calculating Standard Scores for the SDMTUsing the tables on pages 5 and 6 of the manual, please refer to the mean and the standard
deviation (in brackets) for the appropriate age group
Subtract the mean score from the student’s raw score
Divide this answer by the standard deviation
Multiply this answer by 15
Add 100 to this answer
Round up or down for the standard score
For example:A student aged 26, with more than 12 years of education, completing the written SDMT, acheving a
Raw Score of 51
1) Subtract the mean score from the student’s raw score
51 - 57.72 = -6.72
2) Divide this answer by the standard deviation
-6.72 ÷ 9.08 = -0.74
3) Multiply this answer by 15
-0.74 x 15 = -11.10
4) Add 100 to this answer
-11.10 + 100 = 88.9
5) Round up or down for the standard score 89
