Tables 2 and 3 on p. 63 give overviews of
test scores and what they indicate about the child’s achievement.
Test manuals also provide teachers with descriptors, and again it is
important that the teacher refers to the relevant manual when using
these descriptors. In the case of some tests the descriptors are
linked to standard score ranges which teachers may be familiar with
through psychologists’ reports. The descriptors used in Table 2 reflect
those used in the standardised tests normed on the Irish primary
school population.
