In today's educational atmosphere, laden with high-stakes testing, parents are constantly receiving scores and reports from different standardized tests. The wide variety of tests used in the school setting is daunting even to professional researchers and school administrators. This session focuses exclusively on helping parents understand the different types of standardized tests and what information they actually provide. Examples are given for intelligence, nonverbal intelligence, aptitude, and achievement tests. The presenters address what information is important to look for as well as what such information actually tells you about your student.
