Q

Scores are interpreted on the basis of absolute criteria - how many items were answered correctly
Not how the rest of a “normal group” performed
Measures the child’s mastery of a set of objectives
Less interested in skills being achieved by a particular age, more concerned about the elements that contribute to function
Maximize the validity of the content
