IOWA Test Grade Equivalent Results IOWA Test The Diocese of Raleigh uses the Iowa Test of Basic Skills to provide parents a better understanding of their child’s progress from year to year. Individual results will be mailed directly to each student's parent(s) either in November or December. In addition to individual student results, the school receives results for the entire class. These results aid the teacher in recognizing the strengths and weaknesses for each child and adjusts the curriculum accordingly to these needs. These tests are not used as a promotion tool, as the EOGs are used in the public system, but as a way to better understand each child as an individual.

For example, if a sixth-grade student obtains a GE of 8.4 on the Vocabulary test, his score is like the one a typical student finishing the fourth month of eighth grade would likely get on the Vocabulary test. The GE of a given raw score on any test indicates the grade level at which the typical student makes this raw score. The digits to the left of the decimal point represent the grade and those to the right represent the month within that grade. Last Published: March 7, 2011 8:56 AM
