Key Takeaways

  • โ€ข Raw scores convert to z-scores via z = (x โˆ’ ฮผ) / ฯƒ
  • โ€ข Z-scores convert back to raw via x = ฮผ + z ร— ฯƒ
  • โ€ข Percentile = ฮฆ(z) ร— 100; use ฮฆโปยน(P/100) to go from percentile to z
  • โ€ข T-scores use mean 50, SD 10; IQ uses 100 and 15; SAT uses 500 and 100
  • โ€ข Stanines are 1โ€“9 with mean 5 and SD 2; NCE uses mean 50, SD 21.06
  • โ€ข Use z-scores to compare performance across different tests on a common scale

Did You Know?

๐Ÿ“ŠSAT section scores are scaled to approximate normality with mean 500 and SD 100. A 600 is the 84th percentile.Source: College Board
๐Ÿง Wechsler IQ scales use ฮผ=100, ฯƒ=15. Scores above 130 are typically considered "gifted."Source: Psychometric standards
๐Ÿ“T-scores (50+10z) are common in psychological testing to avoid negative numbers.Source: MMPI, clinical assessments
๐ŸŽฏStanines (1โ€“9) were developed by the US Air Force during WWII for pilot selection.Source: Historical reference
๐Ÿ“ˆPercentile rank = proportion of scores below yours. 90th percentile means you beat 90% of test-takers.Source: Norm-referenced testing
๐ŸƒAthletic norms often use z-scores: negative z = faster/better (e.g., race time below mean).Source: Sports analytics

Expert Tips

Population vs Sample

Use population ฮผ and ฯƒ when known; otherwise use sample mean and SD for approximate conversions.

Normality Assumption

Percentile and z conversions assume normality; for skewed data, consider rank-based percentiles.

Stanine Bounds

Stanines are always 1โ€“9; values outside ยฑ2z map to 1 or 9.

Cross-Scale Comparison

Use z-scores to compare performance across different tests or populations on a common scale.

Conversion Workflow

Raw โ†’ Others

Compute z = (x โˆ’ ฮผ) / ฯƒ, then convert z to any scale

Z โ†’ Others

Use x = ฮผ + zฯƒ for raw; scale formulas for T, IQ, SAT

Percentile โ†’ Others

z = ฮฆโปยน(P/100), then x = ฮผ + zฯƒ and scale conversions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between raw score and z-score?

Raw score is the actual measured value (e.g., 85 on a test). Z-score is how many standard deviations that value is from the mean.

How do I convert a percentile to a raw score?

Use z = ฮฆโปยน(P/100) to get the z-score, then x = ฮผ + z ร— ฯƒ for the raw score.

What does a T-score of 60 mean?

T = 50 + 10z, so T=60 means z=1, i.e., one SD above the mean (84th percentile).

Are SAT scores normally distributed?

SAT section scores are scaled to approximate normality with mean 500 and SD 100.

When should I use stanines?

Stanines are used in educational testing for coarse categorization (1โ€“9) without over-interpreting small differences.

How do I compare scores from two different tests?

Convert both to z-scores using their respective ฮผ and ฯƒ. Then compare z-scores directly.
