Test levels are numbered to correspond roughly to the chronological ages of the students for whom they are best suited. Each student should be administered the test level based on his actual chronological age at the time of testing.

Use caution to ensure the proper test is ordered and given to each student. Since there is an academic year of learning between fall and spring testing, different tests are administered to the students at the beginning of the year compared to the end of the year in certain grade levels.

Follow the charts below to determine the tests to be administered for both fall and spring testing.
