AABL test results are designed to help schools assess a child’s strengths in four multiple-choice sections compared to other children the same age. These sections are Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Early Literacy, and Mathematics.
The Individual Score Report will list each section, the skills assessed within that section, the number of questions asked, the number of questions answered, and the number of questions correctly answered. The skills assessed within each section are as follows:
Verbal Reasoning
- Analogies
- Classifications
- Inference/Deduction
Quantitative Reasoning
- Analogies
- Inference/Deductions
- Patterns and Series
Early Literacy
- Phonics and Word Identification
- Phonological & Phonemic Awareness
- Reading Comprehension
- Writing Conventions
Mathematics
- Geometry & Measurement
- Number Sense
- Operations
A child’s AABL scores are based not only on how he or she performs individually, but on how other children of a similar age perform on the assessment.
The score report includes the following information for each section:
- Raw score
- Scaled score
- Percentile rank
- Stanine
- Number of items answered correctly, incorrectly, or skipped
Both the parent and the ERB member schools to which the child is applying may access the online score report approximately three to five business days after the test date.
